The Myth Maker
Detective Cassidy Cantwell finds herself balancing her personal life and her career while standing over the dead wife of her college ex-boyfriend. Her partner questions her ex’s innocence, but with a new woman dead and an uncanny connection to a Greek myth, it’s confirmed they’re looking for a new killer.
Then, accusatory messages begin arriving for Cassidy, taunting her over the cold case that inspired her career – the murder of her best friend in high school – and Cas finds herself pulled in different directions. Should she sacrifice her personal life for the sake of her career, or put everything she has into finding years-old answers to the case that haunts her?
