But when Carla reluctantly agrees to help an acquaintance of her mother’s in a ritzy Florida resort town, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a case of shocking photos and deadly vengeance. What begins as a simple search for the source of the scandal leads to a much larger, much more dangerous case: the cover-up of a huge environmental disaster. And to top it all off, an old client requests Carla’s help to find his missing daughter, posing another thrilling investigation.
