Four skeletons are unearthed during a flash flood. They are identified as Denise & Glen Albright and their two teenage daughters. The Albrights were last seen crossing into Mexico three years ago. Denise was wanted in connection to the embezzlement of funds from her workplace. FBI Agents Lucy Kincaid and Nate Dunning are assigned to the case. They wonder why the Albrights returned to Texas. Thy also wonder why the body of their young son Ricky wasn't buried with the rest of the family.

Investigative Journalist Maxine Revere is also in San Antonio. A family friend has asked her to look into the murder of his daughter. Victoria Mills was stabbed and drowned. It looked like an open and shut case when Victoria's business partner confessed to the murder. But suddenly he recanted, and Victoria's family wants to know the truth. Max hires Lucy's husband, Security Expert Sean Rogan, to help her with the case.

This is the 16th book in the Lucy Kincaid series. I was happy to see that it included a visit from Max Revere and get an update on her life. This book was not a favorite for me. While I found Lucy's investigation interesting, I had a hard time following some of the twists and turns in Max's inquiry. It was apparent that some of the characters were lying or just not telling what they knew. My interest waned. It may have been all of the time we spent on the ins and outs of white- collar crime. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
