When Tracy Andrews, night clerk at the Eden Quick-Mart, is murdered along with an elderly customer, there's no shortage of suspects. Tracy liked men more than a married woman should, and her estranged husband, a Raven University police officer, knew it.

No one looks at the elderly man killed with her, but when someone breaks into his home, Eden police detective Jo Valentine takes a closer look. What she doesn't find surprises her.
