When Kerry McGrath

— a smart, relentless prosecutor — takes her daughter to see a plastic surgeon following a car accident, she sees a woman in the surgery with a beautiful, hauntingly familiar face. On a subsequent visit, she sees the same face again—on a different woman. . .

Suddenly she remembers: both women look startlingly like Suzanne Reardon, the "Sweetheart Murder" victim whose husband, Skip, is now serving a life sentence for that murder.

When Kerry starts asking questions, she discovers that just about everyone wants the case kept closed. Still she persists— but what she doesn’t know is that it is already too late. Her puzzled queries have triggered a response and she is in great, growing danger.
