When retired athlete Pia Sabel attends the funeral of a murdered friend, she winds up clashing with the investigator and uncovers an assassination ring catering to the ultra-rich – putting her in the dead center of their crosshairs.
The final words former rival Chloe England leaves on Pia’s voicemail seconds before her death: “Said there was a place that killed people in their dreams”
Since the tragic murders of her parents in early childhood, Pia Sabel escaped mounting paranoia by throwing herself into every endeavor in sports, business, and –long ago– love. Escaping to idyllic rural England to mourn the loss of her friend, she is attacked by a mob, dismissed by the detective inspector, and ridiculed for inquiring about an English Lord and a British sleep-therapy institute.
Undaunted, she investigates the mystery on her own and exposes a well-connected web of suspects among England’s high society. But she touches a nerve, bringing down a scourge of killers at midnight. Unable to trust anyone, from the handsome Scot to an old friend or even Britain’s titled class, she must unravel the clues before more victims land in the morgue. Peeling back the layers of deceit, lies and cover-ups, Pia finally discovers the truth about who killed Chloe England. A revelation that will endanger everyone she loves.
Makes me think of a modern Agatha Christie with an ass-kicking heroine with a thriller ending instead of a fussy Belgian in a drawing room – Melissa K.
