One Clean Shot

From the USA Today–bestselling author of Dead Center, a thriller about a homicide cop fighting to protect her family—and her secrets—from a killer.

Solving murder cases is Hailey Wyatt's life's work—and she's a damn good detective. That is, until her own husband is brutally killed, leaving her to raise their two precious daughters alone. Without a family of her own to turn to, Hailey moves herself and the girls in with her in-laws. When Senator Jim Wyatt and his wife Liz open their home to their grandchildren and the widowed single mother, it feels like a safe haven.

Then someone takes a shot at the senator. Though her father-in-law survives the attempt on his life, Hailey suspects the shooting is connected to the murder of two of San Francisco's most powerful residents. All the evidence makes the shootings seem like some kind of political statement about gun control. The only thing Hailey knows for sure is that her family is at the center of the case, and she'll do anything to protect them. Even if it means guarding them against her own secrets . . .
