Dirty Intentions

From New York Times bestselling author Liliana Hart comes the next pulse-pounding J.J. Graves mystery.


J.J. Graves knows death. She's built a career on it.


The Aldrich house has sat empty for twelve years. In a town like Bloody Mary, that's long enough for a story to become a legend. Some say the house is haunted. Others say Sarah Aldrich never really left—that something happened to her inside those walls, and the house has been holding onto the secret ever since.


Sarah disappeared without a trace. No body. No explanation. No closure for anyone who loved her. The rumors have always been enough to keep the house empty.


Until the Mercers move in.


J.J. hopes a new family will finally put the old stories to rest.


Then a body turns up inside.


It isn't Sarah Aldrich.


The body has answers. It always does. And as King George County's coroner, J.J. Graves is the only one who knows how to read them.


But the deeper she gets into what the evidence is telling her, the harder it becomes to separate what's true from what people have been telling themselves for years.


Because someone has been hiding behind those rumors.


And J.J. may have just opened a door that was never meant to be unlocked.
