Torn between the high-stakes investigation and caring for her mother with early onset Alzheimer’s, Emily struggles to find a balance. Emily discovers the dead man blackmailed a federal prosecutor to turn over files on an organized crime investigation. When the files disappear, a grieving widow and a prison gang to scramble for control the dead man’s secrets. A deadly game of greed and deception pulls Emily deeper into the shadowy world of gang violence and retribution. Emily walks the razor’s edge to identify the killer without becoming the next victim.

This is the first book in a new series set in Sacramento, California, a city not unfamiliar with violent crime. The story in Face of Greed draws inspiration from one of the first murder cases I worked.
