Emily Jenkins's husband, Kenton, expects her to be at his beck and call every minute of the day, and she is getting tired of this life, but would she resort to murder?

Carol Butler is married to Emily's cousin, Damon. She thinks Damon is cheating on her with a woman he and Kenton helped move from Knoxville to Nashville. Damon swears the woman is gay, but Carol is not convinced. How far will she go to learn the truth?

Detectives Janice Carter and Harold Jones are called to a scene at the Jenkins' home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee. Kenton Jenkins is found dead in his pool. It could have been an accident, but their instincts tell them it was murder.

There are no obvious clues, and the only two people who could be suspects have airtight alibis.  At the same time, other people could be responsible, who had a motive, and how will it be proven with no evidence to tie them to the scene?

Kenton Jenkins had secrets that no one suspected. Were those secrets enough to get him murdered?

Treacherous Secrets

Harold took the first watch on the Butler house while Janice got with Kim and Ashley to talk to them about what they had overheard in the bar, the Twister. Janice met the two women there, and they talked over a couple of beers. 


Kim recounted what she had heard Damon saying about Junior spilling the beans about Kenton's affairs. "You know," Kim said, after telling what she remembered. "If anyone should have been the killer, it should have been Kenton. It would seem that he was the one who had the most to lose. He was going to lose both Carol and Damon, and quite possibly his wife. Not to mention that Walter might have found out and fired him for his unprofessional and sinful behavior." 


"This is true," Ashley agreed. "The contract our law firm has with Morgan Chase is just that, a contract. We have other contracts. Damon has other contracts he works on, as do I. Damon wouldn't have gotten fired, maybe slapped on the wrist, but that would have been about it."
