To most, the crime scene looks like a burglary that went horribly wrong. But George can see what others can't: This was murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter her political career ended, Peggy became a controversial blogger whose forthright opinions attracted a battalion of online trolls. And then there's her family: an unfaithful husband and a gambling-addicted son. With yet more enemies in her past, the potential suspects are unending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCross must unpick the never-ending list of seedy connections to find her killer - but the sheer number of suspects is clouding his usually impeccable logic.
