Murder at the Willows

When the body of Rachel Santos, a young and ambitious communications director for a U.S. Senate candidate, is found at the secluded and upscale guest ranch, The Willows, the investigation leads to a web of secrets, deceit, and political intrigue. Chief Detective Hector Ramirez, a former Army MP and FBI investigator, must use his keen observation skills and deductive reasoning to unravel the tangled threads that connect the victim to the powerful figures who surround her.

Joined by his partner, Detective Ava Nguyen, Ramirez navigates the complex world of politics, power, and privilege to find the truth. As they interrogate suspects, collect evidence, and work to piece together the events leading up to Rachel's murder, they discover a dark underbelly to the campaign and its associates. But with each new revelation, Ramirez and Nguyen are drawn deeper into a world of corruption, and the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly blurred.

As the investigation unfolds, Ramirez must confront his own demons and the toll his duty takes on his mental health and personal relationships. With the help of his sister, Maria, and his newfound connection with Kate, he struggles to maintain his moral compass and trust in his colleagues. But as the case becomes more complex and dangerous, he realizes that the cost of justice may be higher than he ever imagined.
