Synopsis: Born in Boston and raised in the rowdy, loving atmosphere of a big, Irish family, Lucy O'Malley was destined to follow in her father's footsteps and become a police officer. Now, newly assigned to the homicide unit of the Philadelphia Police Department, she has little time and even less interest in mingling with the city's upper crust. All that changes when Lucy falls in love with Archer Haverill, the rebellious only son of a prominent Main Line family. Then Archer's estranged mother, psychiatrist Morgan Reese, is discovered dead on the premises of one of the city's oldest, most exclusive men's clubs. Reluctantly, Lucy is pulled into the tangled web of this fractured family and its rarefied community. As she delves into Morgan's life, Lucy learns that this powerful woman had a complicated life rife with secrets and regrets. An ambitious rival analyst coveted her prestigious position, a psychotic patient stalked her, and a short-lived love affair from her graduate school days has left a legacy of fear and jealousy. Lucy soon finds herself facing an array of suspects determined to protect their own pasts, and even to hide the truth from their own children. A dangerous brew of money, class, and raw emotions, the case forces Lucy to confront the tortured history of her own family...as it pushes her closer and closer to someone capable of ruthless murder.--BOOK JACKET.
