Bad things happen everywhere. Even in the land of sun and roses.
When Jude's best friend is found dead in a swimming pool her family calls it an accident. Her friends call it suicide. But Jude calls it what it is: murder. And someone has to pay.
Now everyone is a suspect-family and friends alike. And Jude is digging up the past like bones from a shallow grave. Anything to get closer to the truth. But that's the thing about secrets. Once they start turning up nothing is sacred. And Jude's got a few skeletons of her own.
In a homage to the great noir stories of Los Angeles award-winning author Sherri L. Smith's Pasadena is a tale of love damage and salvation set against the backdrop of California's City of Roses.
