Garden of Deceit — Laura Pender

More than flowers in the garden...

When a corpse was found in his flower bed, Robert Atwood felt sorry for the unidentified woman ... until he realized he was the police's number-one suspect in her murder.

Katherine Lawrence was certain her old acquaintance was no murderer. She remembered Robert not as a killer--but as killer handsome ... and as a man who had reached for her, long ago, in her darkest hour of need. Now, as a forensic reconstructionist, she intended to return the favor by proving Robert had no connection to the mystery woman.

But when her clay model revealed the face of Robert's ex-partner, Katherine realized her sculpture might send a man up the river. The man--or murderer--she had come to love.
