At Darwin’s sweltering police headquarters, a cop is brutally murdered—right under the noses of his colleagues. Soon after, members of the city’s legal fraternity are slain in equally savage fashion, leaving investigators scrambling for answers.
Is a serial killer on the loose? And what links the victims? These are the questions tormenting lead homicide detective Russell Foley, who is already battling personal demons from a broken marriage and the collapse of his oldest friendship.
Meanwhile, private investigator Sam Rose—ex-cop and once Foley’s closest ally—is drawn into the case. Hired to dig into the killings in secret, Sam’s mission turns personal when his best friend is murdered and the woman he loves is abducted.
Now, as time runs out, Sam must risk everything to save her. But can he and Russell bury the past long enough to stop a relentless killer before another life is lost?
