"While on a temporary assignment at Choice Manufacturing, Kyle Shannon learns that some people will do anything to get what they want. And sometimes what they want already belongs to someone else. After a county politician is found dead in a forest preserve and a tragic fire clears the way for a large construction project, Kyle examines what she thinks she knows about people she considers friends. One of them is a killer."
