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

Janice and Harold hit the chief up first thing the next morning about getting a warrant for Carol Butler's text messages. The chief let them talk to the judge about the warrant based on the fact that Carol had identified the ring found in the casket as her husband's. The judge refused to give them a warrant because the information was retrieved illegally. Janice decided they would use the fact that Carol had gotten the text illegally as a threat to get her to give up the copies. 


By the time they got back to the office from visiting the judge, they had found that they didn't need a warrant or threats. Carol had brought copies of the messages for them while they were gone.
