above flirting to get what she wanted. Intentional or not, the thought heated him to near boiling. He found that damned disturbing. “I’ll check in to see what the crime-scene guys learned,” he said coolly.
“You’ll let me know the results?”
“What I can.” Which wouldn’t be much. His primary responsibility was to the people of this county, to bring down the perpetrator. Hers was to get a good story.

“It’ll solve the third.” He would see to it.
“You don’t think that the…well, inability to solve the others was intentional, do you?”
“No.” He inserted false conviction into his gaze. There was something Cara didn’t know, but he was not about to enlighten her.
There had been a fourth murder that had had something to do with the Lambert & Church law firm. The connection seemed indirect, but it related to a scandal.
The scandal that had destroyed Mitch’s father. And had, apparently, led to his suicide.
But Mitch was sure his father had been murdered.
And now he was in charge of investigating Nancy Wilks’s death. He’d be able to dig more into Lambert & Church and its clients without being second-guessed by his boss. This could even be the break he needed.
And working with Cara Hamilton could provide the additional cover he required. He’d use her, if necessary. And this time, nothing—not Cara or anyone else—would keep Mitch from solving his father’s murder, too.
