Justified

A Dark, Twisty Crime Thriller and Police Procedural

Detective Madison Knight Book 2

From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a twisty police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight uncovering the truth behind a seemingly perfect life.

A “perfect” life. A brutal murder. Nothing is what it seems.

When wealthy entrepreneur Claire Reeves is found brutally murdered in her own kitchen, Detective Madison Knight is called in to investigate. The crime scene appears intimate and personal, but Madison quickly realizes it has been carefully staged and someone has gone to great lengths to direct suspicion elsewhere.

As Madison peels back the layers of Claire’s life, the victim’s polished image begins to crumble. Claire had been keeping secrets, making enemies, and leaving broken relationships in her wake. Now everyone connected to her has something to hide, making them all suspects.

One by one, Madison rules out the suspects until only one possibility remains—the killer has been hiding in plain sight all along. But exposing the truth may make her the next target.
