It Started With a Murder
When a teenage girl is murdered on The Saber—Ocean View’s most dangerous stretch of street—Detective Michael Tough is pulled into a hunt for a killer who is always one step ahead. But nothing prepares him for Becky Conway, a heroin-addicted prostitute whose heartbreaking involvement in the case will change both of their lives forever.
As more young women vanish and bodies begin to appear, Michael uncovers a disturbing pattern—one that suggests there may be not one, but two predators stalking the city. Each new clue drags him deeper into a web of violence, exploitation, corruption, and betrayal.
For Becky, survival means facing the brutal world she’s been trapped in since she was a girl. For Michael, solving the case means risking everything—including his career and his sense of justice—to protect the vulnerable woman who becomes central to the investigation…and to his heart.
Gritty, emotional, and intensely suspenseful, It Started With a Murder is a gripping crime thriller about broken lives, second chances, and the unexpected paths that lead us home.
