She Emerged

Washington, D.C. has its serial killer. The case is closed. Everyone agrees.

Everyone except Amber Jones.

A decorated detective brought low by injury, addiction, and a partner whose loyalty she can no longer trust, Amber has every reason to stay out of it. Then a Senator’s grandson is murdered, a teacher is charged with a crime he didn’t commit, and defense attorney Claire Wolff comes looking for the one person who never stopped asking questions.

What they find beneath the surface of the city — connecting judges and politicians, Russian mobsters, activists and attorneys, old friendships and older betrayals — is something neither woman was prepared for.

Because the police aren’t just wrong about the suspect.

They’re wrong about everything.

The killer is a complicated psychopath. She has been there from the beginning. And she is running out of reasons to stop.
