When her fianc is shot in an apparent assassination attempt, private investigator Lexi Graves' world is thrown into chaos and turmoil. With the list of suspects growing by the minute, and the hit man still on the loose, there's no way Lexi can sit idly by Solomon's bedside and hope he survives when she could be out hunting for the person or persons responsible.After taking charge of Solomon's private detective agency, Lexi enlists the help of her friends and family in her effort to bring the perpetrator to justice. Investigating, however, will lead Lexi into some areas of Solomon's life that he purposefully left behind and unveil some startling revelations about the man she loves. With the situation becoming increasingly dangerous, Lexi has no choice but to unravel his past and ask a surprising source for help in her quest to discover why Solomon was targeted. Yet with her successive questions come some shocking answers and a conspiracy far bigger than Lexi could have ever anticipated.When Lexi knows everything, and the mysterious details of Solomon's past become clear, she can only wonder if anything in her life will ever be the same again.
Private Investigator Lexi Graves couldn't be happier. All she has left to do is wrap up a case between a fighting married couple before she can focus solely on adding the finishing touches to her own wedding. That case is a snap to solve but a woman suddenly enters the detective agency with a puzzling request and Lexi decides to take a last-minute look into the matter. After all, the only other critical decision she has to make right now is choosing her bridal gown. Lexi's client claims to have observed strange changes in her friend's behavior but Lexi can't find anything to suggest any serious problem, despite sharing the same hunch that something isn't quite right. The deeper Lexi looks into it, the more concerned she gets, and the more likely it appears that her client's friend could be in serious danger. Proving it, however, seems nearly impossible. Just to complicate things a little further, two men from Lexi's past approach her with a desperate plea for her help after a priceless item is stolen. Certified, top secret discretion is required, lest a national incident be inadvertently triggered. Solving her cases before her wedding day arrives is a challenge by itself, of course, but if Lexi fails, the fallout could be far greater than she ever imagined.
When Private Investigator Lexi Graves receives an expensive bag from her new husband, she's delighted... for all of five seconds. That's exactly how long it takes her to realize it's a fake. Then another fake bag turns up, along with an outraged mall manager that is desperate to find the culprit before the mall's impeccable reputation for selling quality goods is tarnished. When the initial investigation takes a murderous turn, Lexi knows she has no time to lose. Going undercover would be easy if Lexi could convince anyone to talk. Then the FBI and Solomon Detective Agency collaborate to track down the culprits, and Lexi is further tasked with exposing the master mind behind the recent flood of fake goods. The counterfeiters, however, are smart enough to cover their tracks and the suspects are all seemingly innocent. Yet, one of them is a murderer... and ready to strike again.
When Private Investigator Lexi Graves' police lieutenant brother, Garrett, asks her for help on a missing persons cold case he's been instructed to close, she's happy to poke around. After all, it won't take long to prove if the woman he's checking up on is an impostor or the real deal.Garrett isn't convinced that Debby Patterson, who skipped town ten years ago, is the same happy, family-conscious woman who has finally returned home. Her parents are thrilled to welcome her back so there is no reason to think she isn't. But just as Lexi begins her investigation, a friend of the family approaches her with some suspicions. Before Lexi can find out what is worrying her, the woman is murdered. Coincidence? Or something more dangerous? Solving a murder and proving a missing person's identity, Lexi must put everything she's learned to the test. Perhaps, by solving one crime, she can solve the other and determine, once and for all, who is the real Debby.
