A Silver Lining

Months after her disappearance, the body of Maggie Monahan is found buried in a shallow grave less than fifty yards from her home. Homicide Detective Eugene Jerffries has a suspect - Sonja Monahan, the daughter-in-law of the deceased, but his chances of making an arrest are slim. Not only is the trail of evidence cold, but Sonja's husband, Jack, provides his wife with an undeniable alibi.

The more Jeffries looks into the case, the more he's convinced Sonja is the murderer. Days into his investigation, and just when he's about to give up, he uncovers irrefutable evidence as to the identity of the killer. Case closed for the murder of Maggie Monahan, but not for him and Ivy Ajax, the owner of the dog who unearthed Maggie's remains. Neither of them are looking for a romantic relationship, but their friendship soon transforms into the unexpected for both of them.
