Veteran San Francisco homicide detective Jane Candiotti never had a problem drawing the line between her personal and professional lives--until the night she meets David Perry after his socialite wife, Jenna, is brutally murdered. The facts are damning: the Perrys were embroiled in a bitter divorce and now David stands to inherit millions in the wake of Jenna's death. But Jane's instincts tell her there's more to this case than just greed and love gone sour.

To uncover the truth, she must dig into the sordid secrets of the city's most powerful families, a quest that will draw her inextricably closer to David and his teenage daughter...and to the cold-blooded killer who's stalking their every move. But when the case takes a shocking turn, it's not just Jane's reputation that's hanging in the balance--it's her life.

A terrifying noir thriller from the executive producer of Dexter, Fall From Grace was hailed by Dennis Lehane as "a deftly plotted first novel with the pace of a hurricane and the impact of an earthquake."
