When a renowned Olympic figure skating coach is murdered in Petersburg, amateur sleuth Michelle Kilpatrick

and her close-knit group of friends from the university’s Commuter Lounge find themselves

entangled in a chilling mystery. As Michelle digs deeper, she uncovers more than just

secrets and scandals—she stumbles upon a sinister thread connecting the crime to a mastermind

still lurking in the shadows.

The police are convinced they’ve caught the coach’s killer, but Michelle fears the real culprit

is still at large—watching, waiting, and ready to strike again. As she inches closer to the truth,

she realizes that her investigation isn’t just putting herself in danger—it’s threatening

the lives of those she loves.
