Burned Bridges (Crossroad Press Ladies of Horror)

Murder reignites dormant passions between Toledo Homicide Detective Veronica Jadzinski (Jadz) and her ex-husband, retired-cop-turned-PI Nate Solomon – not all of them good. He’s pushing to re-open the shooting of his boyhood friend, a case that Jadz and her partner wrote off as a drug deal gone bad. Emotions and egos collide as Nate and Jadz clash over who to believe: the victim’s grieving mother, his estranged sister with secrets of her own, or the demanding lieutenant who warns Jadz off the case for questionable reasons. The struggle pits them against a turbulent history neither of them is sure they want to explore as they uncover heartbreaking alliances and uncomfortable truths.
