She never imagined her new job would leave to murder…

Broke, recently divorced, and alone in a new city, Charlotte Papadopoulos takes the one job no one else wants—teaching women inside the San Francisco County Jail.

She expects resistance. Maybe hostility. What she doesn’t expect is to care deeply for the women she teaches. Women who are funny, generous, and survivors—much like Charlotte herself.

But the deeper Charlotte invests in her students, the more she’s pulled into a web of danger she never saw coming. First, her landlord turns up dead. Then a former student dies and Charlotte plunges into a shadowy criminal underworld where loyalty is a currency and mistakes are fatal. And just when she thinks things can’t get worse, Charlotte finds herself face-to-face with a suicide bomber inside the jail’s lobby.

Tender, gripping, and rich with humanity, the jail mystery series blends emotional suspense with the hope of second chances. Each book unravels a new mystery, a new danger, and a new test of courage as Charlotte risks everything to defend the women no one else will fight for.

Most people want to stay out of jail. One woman risks her life to stay inside.
