About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes crime analyst Vera Boyett'''s next case—a triple homicide that tears a small town apart…and an accident that could do worse to her family.
Meet Nick Morris, the struggling artist who makes ends meet by painting pet portraits. He dreams of a more comfortable life and is always hoping for that one big commission to make it a reality. That opportunity comes when he agrees to paint the reluctant and hot-tempered hotelier, Jason Robart.
But Nick's world is turned upside down when he discovers Jason dead from an apparent suicide. Only his girlfriend Elizabeth and Nick seem to be disturbed by the tragedy. With Jason's death, Nick not only loses the commission but also finds himself entangled in a dangerous situation.
It turns out that Jason had debts with everyone, including some shady Russians. As Elizabeth goes missing, Nick becomes increasingly worried. To make matters worse, Jason's business partner and the threatening Russians demand that Nick discloses everything he knows.
Now Nick is in deep trouble and his only hope of survival is to find Elizabeth, unravel the mystery behind Jason's death, and dodge the threats coming his way. If only he had stuck to painting cats...
