Just four months after being paroled for killing his wife, Clayton Morrel’s (Bradley Stryker) memoir is coming out, and it has both Hailey and the D.A. more than a bit unnerved.

The night before Morrel’s big book-signing at former college buddy Frank Berlet’s (Matty Finochio) bookstore, Morrel is stabbed to death in his home.

When the DA is named the prime suspect in the murder, Hailey and detective Fincher Garland (Viv Leacock) are certain she is innocent and set out to find the real killer in order to exonerate Paulina. Detective Charlene “Monty” Montgomery (Lucia Walters) is running the official investigation and, as much as she wishes it wasn’t so, the evidence is pointing more and more towards Paulina.

Hailey leaves no stone unturned as she works to find the evidence needed to prove someone else is Morrel’s killer. Barbara Patrick, Amelia Lincoln, Eric Breker and Aaron Craven also star.
