Family Secrets S L Waters

Olivia Darrow has had a hard life, which started with the unsolved murder of her mother when she was six years old to being raised by an alcoholic father. Her own brushes with the law during her youth didn't deter her from becoming a detective for CSB, the Civil Security Bureau--the police force in her home state of Asmor.




However, that's not the only job Olivia has. She also bartends at Verdigris, a strip club in the entertainment sector called Nok--where all sins and vices are legal. The owner of the club, an older man by the name of Joe Ambrose, lives on the posh island of Waterside, whose residents feel they're above the law and refuse to have CSB interfere with their way of life. Not even when a crime has been committed. That's why they privately hire Olivia through Joe.




Her discretion and dependability has earned her quite a reputation among the elite.




Richard Cassidy, the wealthy owner of the largest technology form in the country, hires Olivia to find his daughter, Brooke, who's been missing for two weeks. She's a party-girl and is known to visit the underground clubs where only the seediest of individuals gather. But there's more to the story than meets the eye and it pulls Olivia into a family with secrets much darker than her own.
