From the moment they walk in the front door, the center's leaders thwart their efforts at every turn. Valerie must navigate an insidious labyrinth of lies, fraud, and intrigue to catch the killer - the killer that no-one wants them to know exists. Can they find an ally in this nest of vipers? Is Valerie's attraction to the victim's son real, or just a result of being thrown together? When everyone is a suspect, where do you start?
