Shades of Justice

A High-Pressure Crime Thriller and Police Procedural

Detective Madison Knight Book 9

---

From international bestselling author Carolyn Arnold comes a high-pressure police procedural that will have Detective Madison Knight defying orders when politics threaten to derail a murder investigation.

Some lies protect reputations. Some protect killers.

A high-profile double homicide immediately puts Detective Madison Knight at odds with her sergeant. Both victims are found inside the home of a prominent businessman—his wife and an unidentified man. It has all the makings of a scandal, but Madison’s boss is determined to keep the investigation from tarnishing one of the police department’s most influential supporters.

Sergeant Winston orders Madison to stay away from the grieving widower and his family, but she’s convinced they know more than they’re telling. Defying his orders could cost her the career she’s fought to build, yet turning her back on the evidence could leave a killer free to strike again.

As Madison digs deeper, she uncovers a buried family secret that exposes a motive she never saw coming. If the killer realizes she’s closing in, Madison may not survive long enough to expose the truth.
