In this gritty crime thriller, a politically explosive murder case also hits painfully close to home for the detective in charge.
The body parts of a young woman have shown up in the town landfill and homicide detective Jack Murphy is on the case. But when the victim’s identity is revealed, the horrific crime takes an even darker and far more personal turn. Nina Parsons was not only a deputy prosecutor, but the rumored lover of the man Jack’s ex-wife is about to marry: the Chief Deputy Prosecutor.
To catch a killer, Jack must not only fight his inner demons, but navigate an escalating campaign of political interference. But no matter what gets in his way, nothing will stop Jack from exposing the greed and power that can drive good men to commit evil acts.
