Broken trust

Summary: Having investigated his share of gruesome killings, Philadelphia Homicide Sergeant Matt Payne is beginning to think nothing can shock him - until the case of a young socialite's death lands on his desk. The Camilla Rose Morgan he'd known for years was beautiful and brilliant, juggling charity fund-raisers while working toward the MBA that would let he take her place in the family's multibillion-dollar company. How was it possible that she'd jumped from the balcony of her Rittenhouse Square penthouse? Her brother tells Payne she'd tragically been battling a lifetime of mental demons, and there is plenty of evidence to support what he says, but still...something just doesn't sit right. The more Payne digs, the more complications he discovers, and when someone slips him copies of trust fund papers that Camilla Rose was fighting bitterly to have nullifed just before her death, an even darker picture begins to emerge. Payne is going to have to tread carefully here. Powerful forces are at work, reputations and lives are on the line. If he takes one step wrong, his own life may be among them.
