Dusty has always been the hothead of the pair - her twin, Nick, he was the calm, cool, and collected one. But now Nick is dead, found murdered in their local cemetery, and Dusty, on forced leave from her job as a Chicago police officer, goes back to her childhood home to attend the funeral. It becomes quickly apparent to Dusty that the local authorities aren't being straight with her - or anyone else - about what's been going on in the little Midwestern town she grew up in.
The detective in her kicks in and she decides to find out what - or who - has killed her brother, so she moves in temporarily with her father and stepmother, takes a job in a local bar, and starts asking questions. Her focus soon fixes on Shane, her brother's best friend - the town bad boy and bad seed. The tension between the two of them has always been palpable, and nothing has changed. Sparks fly as they collide, and while Dusty finds herself sinking in deeper with Shane, the mystery of what happened to her brother - and an ever growing list of victims - grows even sranger.
Dusty finds her past haunting her everywhere she goes as she continues to dig deeper into the circumstances of her brother's death, and her future looms large as her fate as a police officer is about to be determined back in Chicago. With everything coming to a head, she focuses on one thing: What happened the night her brother was killed in the cemetery? She's sure Shane knows...something...and she's determined to find out what it is, one way or another.

"This book has lots of twists and turns, however it works. There is also a lot of transition, but it flows. I will never look at the Easter Bunny the same way."
