Shes transferred out of the murder squad and started a relationship with Detective Sam ONeill, but shes too badly shaken to make a commitment to him or to her career. Then Sam calls her to the scene of his new case: a young woman found stabbed to death in a small town outside Dublin. The dead girls ID says her name is Lexie Madisonthe identity Cassie used years ago as an undercover detectiveand she looks exactly like Cassie. With no leads, no suspects, and no clue to Lexies real identity, Cassies old undercover boss, Frank Mackey, spots the opportunity of a lifetime. They can say that the stab wound wasnt fatal and send Cassie undercover in her place to find out information that the police never would and to tempt the killer out of hiding. At first Cassie thinks the idea is crazy, but she is seduced by the prospect of working on a murder investigation again and by the idea of assuming the victims identity as a graduate student with a cozy group of friends. As she is drawn into Lexies world, Cassie realizes that the girls secrets run deeper than anyone imagined. Her friends are becoming suspicious, Sam has discovered a generations-old feud involving the old house the students live in, and Frank is starting to suspect that Cassies growing emotional involvement could put the whole investigation at risk. Another gripping psychological thriller featuring the headstrong protagonist weve come to love, from an author who has proven that she can deliver. "--Publisher description.
