Beschreibung

A doctor begins to doubt her own sanity as she investigates a patient’s wild claims in this new mystery from the author of Lethal Resuscitation . . . Dr. Cathy Moreland is taken aback when an irate patient comes to her practice claiming his ailing wife has been kidnapped by one of her colleagues using a false name. Is someone impersonating a doctor, or is Adam Steer delusional? After looking into Adam’s claims, she feels reassured that no such thing actually happened—but continues to worry that Steer is mentally unwell. A visit to his home only leads to more alarm. No one answers the door, but Cathy overhears a conversation that convinces her something sinister is going on—and that she herself may be in danger. Cathy’s own bipolar disorder is well-managed, but she’s beginning to doubt her own sanity—and others are, too. As strange developments unfold, will she be able to make any sense of the events around her before everything spirals out of control?

    Warren Lawson is an elite Tribal Police Officer on the Jericho Nation Reservation in Oregon. A relatively peaceful place, but that’s all about to change. 
    Marvin Bingham is a man with morals that vastly differ from Warren Lawson's. One man loves to kill; the other does everything he can to avoid killing. 
    As Marvin claims another victim, he attracts the attention of two twin Native American brothers who want revenge outside the law, two brothers who happen to be very good at killing. 
    Caught in the middle of three killers, Warren races to keep the peace in his town, a task that grows increasingly difficult as his moral compass is tested unlike ever before. With each twist and turn in the case, Warren contemplates whether the law is worth upholding, or if he is just like the very people he puts behind bars. 
    Buckle in, as a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into something horrific and complex, leaving the Jericho reservation in the wake of a bloody battle.

    Justice doesn't have an expiration date. 
    Statistics say half of all killers get away. They blend into the suburbs, they grow old, and they forget. But the families of the victims never do. 
      
    When Detective Luca receives a cryptic call about a 25-year-old murder, he is pulled into the darkest corner of the city's history: the brutal, unsolved murder of a teenage girl. For two decades, a devastated mother has waited for answers, and a younger brother has lived with the ghosts of that night. 
      
    Now, as Luca prepares for the challenges of fatherhood himself, the case becomes deeply personal. He isn't just hunting a shadow; he's fighting to give a shattered family the peace they've been denied for a generation. 
      
    But the trail is a minefield. Between a botched original investigation and a carousel of tight-lipped suspects, someone wants the past to stay buried. And they are willing to kill again to make sure Luca doesn't dig too deep. 
      
    Can Luca solve the crime that defined a family's nightmare, or will he become the next victim of a secret twenty-five years in the making?
