Family Secrets. Corrupt cops. Missing persons.
When Boy Scouts stumble on the skeleton of a man who has been missing for five years, Detective Jake Houser dives into the past to find the truth. Jake is comfortable in the past, where his wife is still alive and they have a future together. But in the dead man’s past, Jake discovers a disturbing link to politically connected members of his own family.
Soon powerful forces are destroying evidence and leveraging his department against him. At least one of these forces is playing outside the system—and playing for keeps. Are Jake’s own relatives coming after him?
As Jake closes in on the killer, he realizes how much he had wrong and must decide just how far outside the system he's willing to go to achieve true justice.
And what it will cost him.
