SOME SECRETS EVEN MONEY CAN'T BURY When Palm Springs millionaire Barney Lochner is found dead in his study—and his trophy wife's lover is shot to death at a Salton Sea mini-mart—private investigator Dana Forsythe is pulled into a tangle of greed, lust, and betrayal worthy of the valley's most exclusive midcentury modern zip codes. Dana's client is Jamie Lochner, the trophy wife in question. She swears she's innocent, but the evidence says otherwise: her missing gun, her lover's body, her fingerprints on the life she tried to escape. Hovering over it all is Barney's daughter Nielle, a "daddy's girl" with dark secrets, an inheritance to protect, and a heart of pure venom. As Dana digs deeper, she unearths a deadly family feud and a final reckoning more twisted than anything she could have imagined.
