Beskrivning
The enemy of my enemy is my sister.Career criminal Vic Doloro was never the kind of father who deserved a Father's Day card. His estranged daughter, Layla Shawn, certainly never sent one. Now thirty-two and struggling to make her way as an artist, Layla has spent much of her life trying to escape her father's shadow—and the unanswered questions surrounding her mother's mysterious death.When Vic dies, he leaves behind an unexpected temptation: a substantial inheritance of ill-gotten money. Encouraging Layla to claim it is Bette, Vic's other daughter, whose troubled history with Layla makes their reunion anything but simple.As the two women embark on a cross-country road trip, old resentments begin to give way to a fragile reconciliation. But the journey takes a dangerous turn when Layla becomes entangled in an unfinished—and potentially deadly—score between her father and a man who knows far more than he should about her mother's death.Determined to uncover the truth, Layla must confront the secrets of her family's past, the complicated bonds of sisterhood, and the demons she's spent a lifetime avoiding. With danger closing in and a killer standing between her and the answers she needs, she'll discover that some family legacies are impossible to escape.
