There's a killer on the loose in Portland and no one is safe. Blocked at every turn, newly widowed Logan McKenna must uncover the truth before more innocent lives are lost.
It's been two years since the fatal car accident that changed Logan's life forever. She's recovered most of her health, forged a new career, and even ventured into a new relationship. Combining business and hopefully pleasure, she's enjoying a much-deserved trip to Portland, OR. When a violent explosion destroys a Vietnamese food truck just steps away from Logan's downtown hotel, she is horrified to realize she not only knows the owner, but the elderly woman who was trapped inside and died in the blaze.
The police suspect all the wrong people, including Logan's new friend, Thanh, the owner of the food truck, and a Vietnam vet just getting his life back together. Accident, arson, or murder? What was the motive? And who was the intended victim?
While peeling back layers of secrets and lies to bring long-buried truths to light, Logan's personal life suffers an explosion of its own, threatening to derail her new and still fragile relationship.
With no authority or access to the police investigation, Logan must decide who to trust, while racing to find the real killer before more innocent lives are destroyed.
