Cheater

Homicide Detective Kit McKittrick is no stranger to peril, but nothing prepares her for what she finds inside the Shady Oaks retirement centre. Standing over the murdered body of Frank Flynn, whose room has been ruthlessly ransacked, Kit faces not just a simple homicide but a complex web of secrets. Flynn, a former detective with the San Diego Police Department, had been leading a quiet life—until now. His death raises a chilling question: was he following a sinister trail that led straight to his own end?

As Kit delves deeper into the murky waters of Frank's past, the situation escalates. The head of security at Shady Oaks is also found dead, pointing to a potential conspiracy that runs deep within the retirement centre itself. The stakes are higher than ever, and every clue seems to take Kit further into a tangled conspiracy.

Enter Dr. Sam Reeves, a forensic psychologist and a volunteer at the centre, who also happens to be someone Kit has been carefully avoiding. As a friend of the victim, Sam holds crucial insights that could break the case wide open. However, the lack of CCTV footage from the day of the murder leaves a gaping hole in their investigation.

With time running out and the body count rising, Kit must navigate this treacherous path carefully. Can she uncover the killer before more lives are lost? And will she confront her personal conflicts with Dr. Reeves to finally piece together the truth?
