When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher Is Summoned To The Home Of Judge Cato Laird In The Middle Of The Night To Investigate A Fatal Shooting, He Knows That Discretion And Kid-glove Treatment Are The Keys To Staying In The Judge's Good Graces And Keeping His Job. At First Glance, The Case Appears Open-and-shut: Elise, The Judge's Trophy Wife, Interrupted A Burglary In Progress And Killed The Intruder In Self-defense. But Duncan Is Immediately Suspicious Of Elise's Innocent Act. His Gut Feeling Is That Her Account Of The Shooting Is Only Partially True--and It's The Parts She's Leaving Out That Bother Him. Duncan Investigates Further And Quickly Finds His Career, As Well As His Integrity, In Jeopardy--because He Can't Deny His Increasing Attraction To Elise Laird, Even If She Is A Married Woman, A Proven Liar, And A Murder Suspect.--from Publisher Description.
