Jessica Hayes enjoys city life and weekly gatherings with her Friday Night Dinner Club — close friends who share food, stories and support. When a string of injuries and deaths at a nearby construction site surfaces, Jessie begins to dig beneath the headlines.

Her inquiry connects the project to her employer's investments and to a friend working in real estate. With help from her dinner-club companions and an intriguing safety inspector, Jessie uncovers secrecy, risk and motive — until another death forces the group to confront a possible killer.

Blending warm camaraderie with corporate intrigue and a classic whodunit structure, this contemporary mystery follows an amateur sleuth navigating danger, loyalty and urban life in Vancouver.
