Bad things do come in threes, even for an attractive ad agency executive living in the most desirable neighborhood in Philadelphia. Just ask Dylan Scarborough: first her father died; then her fiancé died; then her ex-boss died. Only the last one became an issue because the police don’t consider murder a natural cause.

After being implicated by a close friend, Dylan is set up by a career-hungry police chief for a crime she didn’t commit. Running out of people to trust she turns to her nineteen-year-old intern and an investigative reporter friend to help clear her name. Her situation takes an unexpected turn when an enigmatic FBI agent becomes involved in the case–involved in more ways than one. Staying one step ahead of the real killer is difficult enough for Dylan, but doing it while avoiding her meddlesome mother adds a whole new dimension to her problems.
