Clark Millore was the greatest detective who ever lived. It was said that could solve any crime in only a day. There wasn't a man who could surpass him, which is why this story isn't about one. This story is about Eloise Millore, Clark's second daughter and his prodigy.
From her youth, Eloise always admired her father. His diligence, his intelligence, everything about her father. She wanted to follow in his footsteps, not realizing how blind she was to what her father really did. Clark Millore was far more than just a detective, and Eloise would learn that the hard way when a good family friend arises from the dead.
Adele knows she witnessed a murder - what she doesn't know is just how personal it is.
