<p><strong>Some friendships can be murder...</strong><br />
<br />
Arianna Jackson&mdash;AJ to her friends&mdash;has experienced enough drama in the past six months to last her a lifetime. Finding out she&rsquo;s adopted and a twin to the girl she found brutally murdered and dumped in her alley being among the headliners. And, of course, there&rsquo;s her sister&rsquo;s killer, still pursuing her and the secret she holds, despite assurances he&rsquo;s currently locked away in a secure government facility.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, even the best of intentions prevent her from living a drama-free existence when Charlie Wilson, a frequent client of her Mischievous Malamute photography business and an old high school friend, asks her for help after being arrested for a heinous crime he insists he didn&rsquo;t commit. Sure, Charlie may be arrogant and self-centered, but in AJ&rsquo;s book, being a jerk doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean he&rsquo;s guilty&mdash;not of this crime, anyway.<br />
<br />
AJ quickly realizes her old pal may not be as innocent as she&rsquo;d originally been led to believe when he produces a sketchy alibi and is less than forthcoming about a series of missing hours the day of the crime. Still, with or without Charlie&rsquo;s assistance, she&rsquo;s determined to find the truth, wherever it leads.<br />
<br />
Armed with her Alaskan Malamute, Nicoh, and best friend, Leah Campbell, AJ searches for shreds of evidence to prove Charlie&rsquo;s innocence. But the harder they look, the greater the roadblocks they encounter as it becomes apparent Charlie isn&rsquo;t the only one with secrets to hide and demons to bury. In fact, much more may be at stake, including the bonds of friendship.<br />
<br />
In a world that walks the tightrope of good versus evil while nudging the boundaries of black versus white, there are always shades of grey&mdash;where the truth you seek isn&rsquo;t always the one you find. Sometimes the demons that haunt us are resurrected for something greater than revealing the truth. Sometimes the reasons go beyond vengeance&hellip;beyond retribution&hellip;beyond revenge.</p>
