Murder for hire in a Southern college town.
When Sgt. Cory Marin and Marty Washington investigate the execution style murder of a female grad student, they discover that everyone involved with the victim has something to hide. The deeper Cory digs, the more she identifies with the victim, who may have been killed because of information she uncovered. When Cory discovers the victim was pregnant, she is more than ever determined to find the shooter and the person who hired him.
As she doggedly pursues the case, she battles demons of her own. She is haunted by memories of her failed first marriage, and she struggles with her fear of Marty’s growing protectiveness.
When the case expands to include drug smuggling and money laundering, Cory reluctantly involves the FBI.
Will Cory, like her victim, end up dead for poking her nose where it doesn’t belong?
If you like strong female characters, page-turning plot twists, and simmering chemistry, you’ll love JW Robitaille’s Family Ties, the seventh novel in the Cory Marin Mystery Series.
