A crime novelist doesn't expect to investigate someone she loves. But on a chilly morning in July, K.B. Marie receives two phone calls. One from her uncle, saying her mother was found dead in her bedroom from an overdose. A second from a homicide detective saying he believes it was murder — and her uncle is the suspect. Now Marie wants to find the truth, sifting through conflicting details and compelling evidence. It will require a fearless look into her mother's dark past and a relentless commitment to separating fact from fantasy.
