Police sergeant Jim Kissick responds instantly, pulling the dead victim from the water. When his longtime girlfriend, Detective Nan Vining, arrives on-scene, she’s full of questions, and not just about the Jane Doe. Why did the homeowner text Jim instead of calling 911? Jim’s explanation—that he’s simply an old friend of Teddy and Rebecca Sexton’s—doesn’t sit well with Nan. A survivor of a bizarre murder attempt herself, Nan’s instincts for deception are acute. She senses that they’re all hiding something—including Jim, which plunges a wedge deep into their once steadfast relationship.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Then a drought-ravaged lake in a bucolic Central California town reveals a grisly secret. Soon two local detectives arrive in Pasadena to interview Jim and his wealthy friends about a mysterious death from years back, and Nan realizes she has good reasons for her suspicions. Jim’s always been her rock, but suddenly he’s become a stranger. And once Nan identifies her Jane Doe, events careen out of control as darkness from the past threatens to consume the life that Nan has worked so hard to rebuild.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLook for all of Dianne Emley’s riveting Nan Vining Mysteries:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHE FIRST CUT | CUT TO THE QUICK | THE DEEPEST CUT | LOVE KILLS | KILLING SECRETS | LYING BLIND\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003eThe First Cut \u003c\/i\u003eshould immediately establish Dianne Emley in the front ranks of thriller writers.”\u003cb\u003e—#1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Michael Connelly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Stunningly good! \u003ci\u003eThe First Cut \u003c\/i\u003ehurtles the reader down a razor’s edge of suspense to the final, shattering end.”\u003cb\u003e—#1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Lisa Gardner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Emley masterfully twists, turns, and shocks.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Tess Gerritsen\u003c\/b\u003e, on \u003ci\u003eLove Kills\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003eKilling Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e is diabolically good, a top-notch murder mystery.
