Sinopsis

When two prisoners escape and one is found dead, Marcus O’Connell finds himself being hunted—and the hunter could be someone he trusts.

 
One late night, Sheriff Marcus O’Connell receives a call about two escaped prisoners considered a danger to the community. A search is underway, and the warden has reason to believe the escaped convicts are headed toward Livingston. An urgent warning is issued: Shoot to kill.

 
Hours later, Marcus is called to a crime scene. The body of one of the escaped prisoners has been discovered deep in the woods, and the scene has already been lit up, with three prison guards standing over the body, along with the sheriff and deputy from the county over and a tracker with his dogs. A story has been neatly put together, and the group at the scene tries to send Marcus on his way.

 
Yet one prisoner is still missing. Marcus is told no investigation is necessary, that he should sign off on the case and walk away. But nothing adds up. The problem is that dead men can’t talk, and Marcus can’t shake the feeling that the story he’s being told is a coverup for something far more sinister.

    Was it murder or suicide?  All entrances to the study where the body was found were locked from the inside.  The future college president and groom-to-be had no known cause for suicide, yet no clues in either direction appeared to make any sense.  Was Anita, the Mystery Girl, who had just arrived in the New England college town, somehow been implicated?  Had she any reason to ensure of the demise of the well-liked man?  Perhaps some love letters between the two that nobody was to know about?  And what of the mark of a ring on the deceased man's forehead?  The college town was abuzz, and it seemed everyone had their own ideas of what actually happened. - Summary by Roger Melin
