"Duplicity" is the second book in Jane Hasfieldine's Julia Gooden mysteries series. It centers on the story of Julie, a former member of theS.A.S forces in France, now serving as an assistant district attorney.
Julia is trying to find the real motive behind a courthous bomb that killed several people, including a key witness in a drug trafficking prosecution against her husband, David, who has been critically injured in the explosion. While she is sure that Nick Rossi was involved in this crime, she doesn't have strong evidence against him. Her investigations lead her to realize that there is more to this case than meets the eye, as Rossi's power and influence run deep in the world of drug trafficking and politics.
Undeterred, Julia asks her childhood friend, Detroit police detective Raymond Navarro for help. Together, they begin an investigation into a complicated case, uncovering a web of blackmail and retribution, while ultimately hoping to gather sufficient evidence to prove Rossi's involvement. Despite the risks involved, Julia is usually willing to pursue justice, but in this case, her decision to go after Rossi brings the life of her teenage daughter Marie in jeopardy. As time runs out and hard truths are exposed, will Julia be able to crack the case and get the justice she wants, or will it already be too late?
