When hired to find missing businessman Andreas Katsaros, she tracks him to an exclusive sex club only to have him turn up murdered the next day. The case becomes complicated when another client hires Marti to find her missing father, who turns out to be Andreas living a double life.<\/p><p>As Federal Agent Heather Blair arrests the wrong murder suspect, crime boss Ari Stirling personally hires Marti to find the real killer. Alongside her whip-smart secretary Lori, whose loyalty runs deeper than either woman wants to admit, Marti navigates Falls City&#8217;s corrupt underbelly while battling her own demons.<\/p><p>In Almost, when Marti gets too close to the truth, she&#8217;s forced to decide: save the killer or save herself. As the stakes get higher, the rain-soaked streets of Falls City start running red with blood.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<div><a
