Some love stories end in heartbreak. This one ends in murder.
She wasn’t just another victim.
She was Detective Long Collins’ first love.
When Hollywood arrives in Boston for the glittering premiere of a blockbuster film, the city is buzzing with celebrities, cameras, and red-carpet chaos. But the celebration ends in violence when rising movie star Cassandra King is found murdered in the Capitol Hotel.
For Boston Homicide Detective Long Collins, the case quickly becomes personal. Years ago, Cassandra left him behind to chase fame in Los Angeles. Now she’s back in Boston—and Long is standing over her body.
As he digs deeper into the investigation, Long discovers a world of jealous rivals, powerful industry insiders, and dangerous secrets hiding behind the glamour of Hollywood.
Only, the case grows even more complicated when his captain assigns him a new partner—a mysterious woman he met at his bar the night of the murder. Drawn to her by her captivating eyes, Long quickly realizes they hold secrets as dark and twisted as her past.
But in Boston, the past never stays buried.
And this time… it led to murder.
