Before She Knew (Hale Hastings Mystery Thriller)

She has spent the past two months fighting to stay ahead of the FBI, clear her name, and keep her cover. But when federal agents finally arrive at her doorstep, Hale only has one option left. Surrendering on her own terms is only the beginning. For the first time, Hale is inside the system and the chances of being found innocent has never felt further away. All of the evidence points back to her, and if Hale can't convince the FBI that someone else killed her former boss and mentor she'll spend the rest of her life in prison. When she's barred from investigating her own case, Hale has no choice but to trust the people closest to her with the most important fight of her life - and turn her attention to a cold case she's been carrying since before she went on the run. Working it isn't a distraction. It's the only thing keeping her sane.
