Things are heating up in Arizona in this thrilling novella introducing a page-turning new series by New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan

Margo Angelhart was recently certified as a private investigator, but she isn't convinced that it's her calling. All of her cases have been minor, mostly for family and haven't paid the bills. She's more than happy to keep bartending and figure out her post-military career later. That is, until prosecutor Andy Flannigan walks into her bar and offers her a case she can't turn down…

Nineteen-year-old Sergio Diaz has confessed to murder—except Andy doesn't buy it. With his own job on the line, Andy asks Margo to work the case discreetly. The more she digs, the more she's convinced an innocent kid is going to prison for a crime he didn't commit. Now she just needs to figure out why he'd confess. Can Margo prove Sergio's innocence and help Andy find the real killer before anyone else dies?
