Description
Her job was to solve the country’s most complex and violent crimes. No one did it better. But after her partner’s death at the hands of serial killer Daniel Sykes, she has lost faith in everything she once was.
Forced to leave the Bureau under the weight of guilt, Camille returns to her hometown, hopeful that the presence of family and friends can heal the wounds that time could not. Unfortunately, a change in scenery does not bring about a change in fortune. Less than 24 hours after her arrival, Camille is left to deal with yet another tragic loss: the brutal murder of her best friend in an apparent home invasion.
For local police, the case is open and shut. For Camille, it is anything but.
Desperate for answers, she becomes an unwitting participant in an investigation that winds through the darkest corridors of wealth, power, and political corruption. All the while, a killer waits patiently in the shadows, watching Camille’s every move.
With the help of a young homicide detective whose doubts about her partner’s motives increase by the second, Camille races to uncover the truth behind her friend’s murder, even though doing so will put her on a collision course with a deadly past that she desperately wants to leave behind.
