James Street Sarah Vail

After four years of hard work, deputy district attorney Tim McAndrews claims the title of his office's top prosecutor. He's young, handsome, and smart, and his life is ticking along at a satisfying pace until he sees a woman dancing down the last few steps of the James Street parking garage. Tim realizes his perfect life is actually missing something: love.

He's surprised by his sudden and overwhelming attraction to the beautiful Daniela St. Clair--wealthy heiress and philanthropist. Love on the brain, he returns to his office to find his best friends from the old neighborhood, Kathy and Scott. They have grim news: two young women have died as a result of a toxic mix of antidepressants and alcohol.

Kathy, with the Medical Examiner's Office, and Scott, a Seattle detective, suspect foul play, and they need Tim's help to prove it. With thoughts of Daniela still whirling around his head, Tim works with his old friends, but the case leads them all down a dark path. They follow the evidence where it leads, methodically putting together a jigsaw puzzle of pure evil, as Tim pursues new love and soon realizes he's not the only one interested in Daniela.
