Book 10 Fatal Identity
Back cover copy:
Every family has its secrets…
As the first anniversary of her marriage to Vice President Nick Cappuano approaches, Lieutenant Sam Holland is dreaming of Bora Bora—sun, sand and a desperately needed break from the DC grind.
But real life has a way of intervening, and Sam soon finds herself taking on one of the most perplexing cases of her career.
Government worker Josh Hamilton begs Sam to investigate his shocking claim that his parents stole him from another family thirty years ago.
More complicated still, his “father” is none other than the FBI director.
When a member of Josh’s family is brutally murdered, Sam begins to question how deep the cover-up goes.
Is it possible the revered director was part of a baby-napping ring and others involved are also targets?
With a killer intent on deadly revenge and her team still reeling from a devastating loss, Sam’s plate is full—and when Nick and their son, Scotty, take ill, is her dream of a tropical anniversary celebration in peril, too?
More about the story…
Sam and Nick are getting ready to celebrate their first anniversary in Bora Bora, but they have some unfinished business to attend to before they leave. Sam is suspended for three days for punching Ramsey and faces the possibility of being charged. Nick and Scotty are sick with the flu.
After seeing an age-progressed photo that looks just like him, Josh Hamilton, the son of FBI Director Troy Hamilton, believes he was kidnapped as a baby 30 years ago from Tennessee. Sam and Avery investigate the case.
U.S. Attorney Tom Forrester sends Sam’s assault case to the grand jury and will abide by their decision of whether or not to charge her.
Director Hamilton is murdered in his home, and Avery finds the body. Freddie puts Josh in a safe place until they know what’s going on as the case takes Sam to Tennessee, where she comes down with the flu as well.
Sam gives her first speech as Second Lady and repairs a twenty-year rift with her mother, Brenda.
