Cheater -- Karen Rose

<b>A shocking murder leaves an affluent retirement community reeling in this riveting, high-stakes second installment of the San Diego Case Files, from <i>New York Times</i> and <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author Karen Rose.</b> <p/>Death is not an unfamiliar visitor to Shady Oaks Retirement Village, which provides San Diego with premier elderly support from independent retiree housing to full-time hospice care. But when a resident's body is found brutally stabbed and his apartment ransacked, it's clear there's someone deadly in their community. Detective Katherine "Kit" McKittrick quickly discovers that Shady Oaks is full of skeleton-riddled closets, and most tenants prefer to keep their doors firmly closed to the SDPD. <p/>A longtime volunteer at the retirement facility, Dr. Sam Reeves honors his late grandfather's memory by playing the piano for the residents regularly. So it shouldn't be such a surprise when Kit crosses paths with him during her investigation, after she'd avoided the criminal psychologist--and the emotions he evokes--for the last six months. <p/>Sam's rapport within the retirement village proves vital to the case, and the pair find themselves working together once again--much to Kit's dismay. But she is determined to apprehend the shadow of death lurking around Shady Oaks...and equally determined to ignore the feelings she's developing for a certain psychologist.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Karen Rose<br><b>Publisher:</b> Berkley Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03
