About this item
LAPD Detective Margaret Nolan is struggling to move forward after the death of her brother in Afghanistan and taking a life in the line of duty. Her stoic parents offer little support - they refuse to address anything difficult, and she's afraid their relationship is eroding beyond the point of recovery.The days off are the hardest, because they give Margaret time to think. A moment of weakness leads to cocktails with a colleague -- an attraction she knows could be dangerous -- at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air bar. A stroll through the grounds leads to a grim discovery beneath the surface of Swan Lake: the body of a successful attorney who made his fortune in international trade.It initially appears to be death by misadventure, but the case is anything but straightforward.
