Deadly Desire

Gloria Lott's body is found on her back patio, an apparent suicide. It should be an open-and-shut case. Gloria suffered from depression, and had even attempted suicide before. But a few details about the crime scene don't quite add up for Denver homicide detective Sarah Spillman, so she and her team start their investigation by interviewing family, friends, and neighbors. And as they learn more about Gloria, they find there was more than just depression in her past, and several people with reasons to murder her.

Despite daily pressure from her superiors to close the case quickly, niggling doubts keep Sarah searching for clues and questioning her assumptions. But she can't stop digging until she knows for certain that a killer doesn't remain on the loose.
