Guilt By Association

When Deputy District Attorney Rachel Knight's journey home is interrupted by screaming sirens, she decides to follow them.

But what she finds when she arrives at a sleazy LA motel shatters her world: her trusted colleague Jake lies dead beside the body of a teenage male prostitute.

The police say murder/suicide. Rachel's gut says different.

Her search for proof will take her through the dark and tangled city, from its wealthy suburbs to its violent heart.

And a truth so dangerous it could kill her.
