She was a vision. She was a siren. She was a nightmare. She was dead. He needs her to disappear... and he knows how to do it. The Palm Beach elite go to great lengths to protect their own - Elena Estes is no longer one of her own. Once a child from a rich and privileged family, Elena said goodbye to her past life. Betrayed by those closest to her and disappointed, she chose the life of an undercover agent, and the hunt for justice became her personal passion. A tragic, haunting mistake ended her career. Now Elena exists on the margins of her former life, earning a living by riding horses. But a terrible incident pulls her back into the painful whirlpool that she tried so hard to leave behind. She is the first to discover the body of a young woman—not just a victim, but a friend—raped, murdered, and dumped in a canal. Investigating the secret life of the deceased, Elena reveals not only her connection with the leader of the Russian mafia, but also with a group of influential and rich scoundrels from Palm Beach, providing each other with an alibi to hide their many sins. This group includes a man she once knew very well - her ex-fiancé, Bennett Walker, who has already escaped justice at least once. The revelation of the killer will bring discord into Elena's former life, into her relationship with her new lover and herself. But she is determined to uncover the truth, which will shock the community of Palm Beach and could very well lead to Elena's death.
