Nightshade by Susan Wittig Albert

Nightshade by Susan Wittig Albert

      
Susan Wittig Albert takes China on a trip down memory lane, where one fresh murder and several cold cases force her to face her dark past ...

China's herb shop and catering business may be thriving, but she's still reeling from the circumstances surrounding her father's death -- and isn't remotely interested in her half brother Miles' investigation of it. Although, when fate forces her to get involved, China realizes it's time to bring the past to light -- or else it will haunt her the rest of her life.

But China and McQuaid discover that Miles may have been keeping as many secrets as he seemed determined to uncover -- for starters, knowledge of the whereabouts of their father's wrecked car, a key piece of evidence. How deep do the layers of secrecy go? And who has a stake in concealing the truth after sixteen years?

Piecing together clues, China and McQuaid embark on what feels like a wild-goose chase, tracking down evidence that might link several cold case murders to her father's death But the closer they get to untangling the story, the more China longs for answers she may never get . . .
