The Day She Died - (Chief Maggie Riley) by Shannon Hollinger (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Maggie's heart pounds as she clutches the autopsy report. What she's reading is impossible. Yesterday, a woman died in a fire. But her remains belong to someone who died twenty years ago.

When the body of Ruby Anderson is found in a burnt-out trailer, Chief Maggie Riley is called to solve the biggest case Coyote Cove has ever seen. Ruby supposedly drowned on a kayaking trip twenty years ago-how could she have been alive today?

For years there have been whispers about how Ruby died. There was one witness who swore they saw the river drag Ruby away. Ruby's body was never found, and she was presumed dead.

But when the autopsy report is returned, Maggie makes a shocking discovery. It shows that Ruby never drowned at all. She'd been hiding in plain sight for the past twenty years. Who was she hiding from and why would they want her dead?

As Maggie unravels the web of lies around Ruby's murder, she discovers that the witness to Ruby's drowning is her closest colleague at the Coyote Cove Police Department. And they're protecting a dark secret from Ruby's past that Maggie must uncover before anyone else loses their life.

But how deep do the lies around Ruby's death truly go? With no one to trust, Maggie needs to uncover a deadly secret alone and it lies at the heart of the police force. How much will she have to sacrifice to discover the truth?

An absolutely gripping crime thriller, The Day She Died will have your heart racing until the final killer twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Regan, D.K Hood, Mary Stone and Melinda Leigh.
