Sacrifice

A Dark Crime Thriller and Police Procedural

Detective Madison Knight Book 3

From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a dark police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight risking everything when those sworn to uphold the law stand in her way.

The truth won’t be silenced. Neither will Madison Knight.

During a winter thaw, the body of a young man is pulled from a riverbank. Detective Madison Knight identifies the victim as the troubled son of Marcus Randall, one of the city’s wealthiest—and most corrupt—businessmen. The victim’s mother is convinced Marcus is responsible, but Madison isn’t ready to draw that conclusion.

The victim’s drug habit, dangerous associates, and fractured family leave Madison with no shortage of suspects. Was it a drug deal gone wrong, a betrayal by someone close to him, or is there more to his father’s story? When Madison turns her attention to Marcus, the police chief steps in, intent on steering the investigation away from his wealthy friend.

But resistance only sharpens Madison’s instincts. If someone is willing to sacrifice everything to keep the truth buried, Madison is willing to risk everything to uncover it.
