Summary

Murders are not common in Mountainview: a sleepy North Carolina town. But when a librarian finds a dead body on her morning walk, assistant district attorney Greg is sent to assist in the police investigation.
 
The victim turns out to be a prominent lawyer, and soon another victim is found, along with connections to unsavory agreements with the legal department. Clues in the case are few and far between.
 
Together with homicide detective Brian, the two race against time to find the killer. But as the plot becomes even more tangled and the investigators have to rethink their assumptions, can they solve the case before another life is lost?
Available since: 03/31/2022.

    As Rick struggles to keep his family together, he does a favor for Sara Bhandari, a business contact.

Determined to find the truth at any cost, and against his wife's warnings, he investigates on his own. 
    Along the way, he bumps up against a sinister private investigative agency and a shady shell corporation that may be hiding more than company secrets. As Rick digs for the truth about Sara's death, he risks his own life and the lives of countless innocents caught in his relentless crusade.
