Dead Center

Secrets drive this story. Forensic photographer Ainsley Duncan has spent months trying to clear her brother after he was convicted of a murder he may not have committed, but her contacts have led nowhere. Her search changes when she uncovers a concealed past belonging to Grady Houston, the ballistics, firearms, and explosives expert at the Veritas Center. Grady has kept that history hidden for years and is determined to keep it that way, so he resists when Ainsley asks for his help in tracking down the real killer.

Exposing his past could cost Grady the work he loves and could push away the woman he is starting to care for, who may not want anything to do with him once she learns the truth. Still, he refuses to abandon her cause. When someone targets Ainsley with a precise and deadly shot, Grady has to face what he has hidden and accept whatever follows.

Together they are racing against a killer who is still free and may strike again before they can unmask the murderer.
