This mystery follows herbalist and ex-lawyer China Bayles as she investigates the suspicious death of her friend Karen Prior, who was attacked in a mall parking lot. As China delves into the nearly fifteen-year-old cold case surrounding the murder of Christine Morris, she uncovers connections that suggest Karen’s death may not have been a random act of violence.
