An action-packed thrill ride littered with pain and hope for redemption...

It's a dark time for Jonathan Creed. Reeling from the recent death of a woman he loved-and blaming himself for failing to save her-Creed isn't looking for trouble. But New York City has other plans.

When an old case comes back to haunt him in the form of a vindictive ex-wife, a new case turns up that he can't turn away. A politician is being blackmailed, and the stakes have never been higher.

Nothing is as it seems in Creed's world. And as both cases pull him back into the never-ending plague of child abuse-where answers aren't easy, and wounds never heal-he begins to realize that, the deeper he dives, the easier it is to keep fighting to stay alive.

In a world where the lines between fiction and reality are blurred, Jonathan Creed is determined to figure out where one begins and the other ends.
