Innocence dies in a world where decency fades.

When Verity Child gets her dream job teaching at a community college, treachery, deceit, attempted murder, and secret contracts blindside her.

Will she discover the inner workings of the Hillside campus and resolve problems that have plagued the college for years? Or will she incite another unthinkable crime against the innocent?

When Verity's colleague is taken away on a stretcher, and Verity can't tell if she's dead or alive, the thought that her own life could be in peril jolts her into reality.

Following the clues to a greenhouse on private property, Verity wonders if she's ready to face the dark truth.

But when the dark truth comes knocking on her apartment door, Verity may have no choice but to face her terror alone and try to save her own life.

Not only is this Verity's last chance for redemption, but her actions right now may break the chain of crime against the innocent and reveal the secrets behind the inner sanctum at Hillside College once and for all.

If you like strong women protagonists, workplace drama and amateur sleuths, you'll love this heart-wrenching novel by Maren Hill.

Don't miss the other books in The Verity Child Women's Fiction Trilogy: Nicole, The Troublemakers, and Our Forever Place.

From workplace horrors in the big city to finding love on the dreamy island of Exuma, this fascinating trilogy takes us on a vivid ride.
