In TRUTH KILLS, librarian-turned-private-investigator Angelina Bonaparte is a woman on a mission––to ferret out cheaters and lowlifes and bring them to justice. Angie has plenty of experience with such men––and not just because her former husband was the king of the lot. As a P.I. in Milwaukee, most of Angie’s work is tracking down deadbeats and exposing unfaithful spouses. But, now she’s been asked by a betrayed pregnant wife to prove her cheating husband, Anthony Belloni––aka Tony Baloney––innocent of the murder of his kept mistress. Angie’s heart tells her to let the skunk rot in prison, but her head convinces her that adultery is not grounds for incarceration. During the investigation, Angie encounters so many people who wished the victim dead that she has to develop a chart to keep track of them all. She also encounters hunky police detective Ted Wukowski, who is still reeling from the death of his former female MPD partner at the hands of a narcotics gang, and thinks women don’t belong in the path of danger. As they work toward the same goal––discovering the dead woman’s killer––Angie and Detective Wukowski realize their attraction for each other and must decide whether they are strong enough as individuals to work through her lack of trust and his fear of loss.
