A Past Without Pictures

<p>LAPD homicide detective Maria Cole trusts no one. She survives on her own wits. She sleeps with a
knife. She tries to forget her past. Then she receives a call. Her estranged ex-con father has been murdered at his home in coastal Alabama, and everything she's buried comes surging back.

When she arrives in the sleepy beach town to settle his affairs, nothing the local police tell her adds up. Somebody wants to make sure she doesn't get to the truth.

But Maria always gets to the truth. Even if it is the death of her.</p>
