Small town murder. Local cop in love with prime suspect. What could go wrong?
Ali Thorein is successful in the corporate world but has no personal life. Step one in her quest for balance is to return to Rausburg, Wisconsin and make amends with her past. But the man responsible for her bad memories has just been murdered.
Tommy Peterson, Rausburg’s village cop and Ali’s former classmate, finds a note at the crime scene in Ali’s handwriting. A day later, with little progress in solving the murder, Agent Malloy from the Dept. of Criminal Investigation takes jurisdiction. Convinced she’s the killer, his investigation unites Tommy and Ali as they struggle to prove her innocence.
Will they convince the veteran detective of Ali’s innocence, or will he send Ali to prison?
