Her father-once a respected cop-had been exposed as a corrupt officer, and rather than face the consequences, did something River has never been able to reconcile. The fallout destroyed everything: her trust, her stability, and the fragile connection she shared with Detective Finn Callahan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, she's back. Older, wiser, a psychologist with a practice to rebuild and a heart guarded like a fortress. What she doesn't expect is to be pulled into the Murder of the Month Club-a group of amateur sleuths with a love for true crime, some impressive credentials, and a pretty decent track record for solving cold cases. Or to be working alongside Finn, the man whose actions shattered her world...and whose eyes still see far too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when a decades-old disappearance leads to a powerful town figure with ties to both River's and Finn's families, the case becomes personal.
