EVA RAE THOMAS MYSTERY SERIES 

What do we do when the truth hurts too much? Fresh out of the national academy - mother of two - FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas is in over her head on her first assignment in multi-million-copy bestselling author Willow Rose’s breath-taking mystery. When the mother of two, Arlene Wood, crashes her car against a tree at four in the morning, the case seems pretty straightforward. But evidence found in the remains of the car soon raises the question of whether this was really an accident. Shortly after, her husband is taken in and later convicted of having murdered his wife. But many questions remain unanswered. Why was Arlene driving in the middle of the night? Why did she leave the house, her husband, and her sleeping children, get into her car, and drive away? Was she meeting someone? A friend? A lover? A killer? Six years later, Special Agent Eva Rae Thomas is new on the job when she stumbles upon something that suddenly blows this case wide open. But can she persuade anyone to reopen the case even when the husband has admitted that he is guilty? And will she be able to do it in time before this killer strikes again? This mystery novel is the prequel to the #1 bestselling Eva Rae Thomas Mystery Series.
