Peri has had enough. Sheâs closing her business, marrying her detective boyfriend, and settling down to a life of easeâuntil her brother shows up, accused of a murder he swears he didnât commit. Now sheâs back in the thick of things, investigating the death of an engineer who may have been stealing techno-secrets from other companies. Her relationship with her brother is an icy one, at best, and she struggles with her ambivalence, as well as her desire to leave investigative work behind. Digging around in peopleâs lives is reasonably easy, but when the bullets start flying, will Peri be able to keep her promise?
