Shadow of Death
 

Carla Summers, a criminal defense attorney, may have bargained for more than she expected when she agreed to represent an alleged murderer who admits to having stalked the victim, yet denies killing her. To complicate matters further, the homicide detective assigned to the case, Nick Brunetti, is having a hard time dealing with anger and resentment over the loss of his mother, who died from cancer. Nick knows all too well how quickly loved ones can be taken, either in illness or accident, and is eager to pursue an intimate relationship with Carla. Carla, still mending from a past abusive marriage, is afraid of any intimacy and wants to keep the friendship platonic. Time is running out as Nick tries to help Carla discover who the killer is before another victim is murdered.
