He Stole Her Child—And Her Life

I thought I’d seen everything in homicide—until the night a murdered pregnant woman shattered our city’s calm. Rookie Lucas Reed was supposed to be my shadow, not the spark that would unravel Toledo’s darkest secret. As a spring storm washes away evidence, a single flash of red in the mud leads us down a twisting trail of office whispers, broken marriages, and a baby stolen from the grave. Each suspect hides a different scar—some too fresh, some too deep to heal. The closer we get, the more tangled the lies become. In the end, it’s not just a killer we’re hunting, but the truth each of us is desperate to hide. Can justice survive when everyone has something to lose—and the real murderer is the last person anyone suspects?
