Faith Franklin has spent years learning that food can bring people together. Now she discovers that even a table overflowing with delicious cakes cannot keep danger away.
When Robbie is murdered, a community built around giving young people a second chance is suddenly thrown into chaos. Suspicion falls on those closest to the victim, and evidence appears to point toward JoJo and the troubled young people around him. But Faith isn't convinced. Something about the case feels wrong.
As she investigates, Faith discovers a web of resentment, family conflict, accusations, and carefully planted evidence. Someone wants the investigation to follow a particular path—and is willing to hurt innocent people to make that happen. Even Capability, whose presence is supposed to provide protection, becomes caught up in the escalating tension.
With the truth buried beneath layers of deception, Faith must separate genuine clues from a carefully constructed frame-up. And as the danger closes in, the people she is trying to protect may be in more danger than they realize.
Sometimes the sweetest ending comes only after the darkest secret has finally been uncovered.
