Clarice Wilkenson has come a long way from the summer she spent scrubbing crime scenes alongside Gabby St. Claire. She’s now one of Norfolk’s most successful Realtors. But when she walks through her latest listing, something feels off. The house is spotless–almost too spotless. There’s a faint smell of bleach, a patch of carpet that doesn’t quite match, and baseboards that look brand new in just one room.
Nobody else notices. But Clarice learned from the best, and she knows a cleaned-up crime scene when she sees one.
Twenty years after they first worked together, Clarice turns to Gabby for help. Gabby isn’t sure she’s still the woman who once chased killers through Hampton Roads, but she can’t ignore an old friend in need. As the two dig into the house’s history and its absent owner, they discover someone went to great lengths to erase what happened there. And whoever wiped that house clean has no intention of letting Gabby and Clarice expose the truth.
