The girl’s lifeless body lies next to a scattered bouquet of crimson roses, the petals around her head like tiny pools of blood. Clutched in her delicate hand is a note with the words, “You’ll be sorry.”
Champion figure skater Michaela Glover is a star in her hometown of Woodbridge, so when she returns for a special one-time performance, Detective Amanda Steele takes her daughter to watch. But the town’s celebration soon turns to tragedy when Michaela is discovered dead in her dressing room.
Amanda is first on the scene. As she looks at the room overflowing with flowers from Michaela’s adoring fans, her eyes soon focus on a few roses tied with black ribbon. When forensic tests reveal the ribbon was laced with something Michaela was deathly allergic to, Amanda is certain this is cold-blooded murder.
Desperate for a lead, Amanda dives into Michaela’s life to find out who could possibly want this sweet girl dead. She soon discovers that despite having a glittering future ahead of her, Michaela had a troubled past and was surrounded by people jealous of her success.
But when someone close to Michaela is discovered brutally murdered, Amanda is terrified there could be yet more innocent victims to follow. Can she uncover the twisted killer’s identity before they strike again?
