A brutal double homicide. Impossible DNA evidence. And a truth someone will kill to protect.

When Homicide Detective-Sergeant Jane Rieger-Franklin answers a late-night call to a quiet Long Island home, she is horrified to find the naked bodies of her friend and colleague’s husband—and another woman.

The evidence is damning. Detective Vivian Summers’s DNA is at the scene. A red-light camera photo places her car nearby. The motive seems obvious: a wife’s revenge.

But Jane knows Vivian. And something about this picture feels terribly wrong.

Unwilling to accept the District Attorney’s conclusion, Jane digs deeper—into forged surveillance footage, hacked DNA records, and a digital phantom capable of rewriting reality itself. Each discovery exposes another fracture in the official story, revealing a decades-old secret steeped in vengeance, identity—and blood.

But the investigation is only part of Jane’s battle.

At home, her wife Anna prepares for artificial insemination, while their daughters navigate first love and growing independence—reminding Jane what’s truly at stake when justice fails.

As the case pulls her from suburban Long Island to the streets of Orlando—and toward a final confrontation inside the Most Magical Place on Earth—Jane finds herself facing a truth more dangerous than any killer.

Because some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried.

And when the truth finally surfaces, it won’t just solve a murder—it will redefine justice itself.

Gripping, intelligent, and impossible to predict, Bloody Deeds is a powerful crime thriller featuring one of the most compelling detectives in modern crime fiction.

Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Karin Slaughter, Tana French, and Lisa Gardner.
