Identity

Firecracker P.I. Fina Ludlow returns in the next hard-driving entry in the acclaimed series by Ingrid Thoft. It' s been a couple months since Fina' s last big case-- the one that exposed dark family secrets and called Fina' s family loyalty into question-- but there' s no rest for the weary, especially when your boss is Carl Ludlow. Renata Sanchez, a single mother by choice, wants to learn the identity of her daughter Rosie' s sperm donor. A confidentiality agreement and Rosie' s reticence might deter other mothers, but not Renata, nor Carl, who' s convinced that lawsuits involving cryobanks and sperm donors will be "the next big thing." Fina uncovers the donor' s identity, but the solution to that mystery is just the beginning: within hours of the case going public, Rosie' s donor turns up dead. Fina didn' t sign on for a murder investigation, but she can' t walk away from a death she may have set in motion. She digs deeper and discovers that DNA doesn' t tell the whole story and sometimes, cracking that code can have deadly consequences.
