Powerful forces on each side of the law have Rick Cahill in the crosshairs

Nightmares of the man he killed two years ago still chase Rick Cahill through his sleep. The memory of his murdered wife haunts him during waking hours. His private investigative work, secretly photographing adulterers, paid for his new house but stains his soul.

When an old nemesis asks for his help to free a man from prison, a man he thinks is wrongly convicted of murder, Rick grabs at the chance to turn his life around. His investigation takes him from the wealthy enclave of La Jolla to the dark underbelly of San Diego. His quest fractures his friendship with his mentor, endangers his steady job, and draws the contempt of the Police Chief who has tried to put Rick behind bars forever.

With the police on one side of the law and a vicious biker gang on the other, all trying to stop him from freeing the man in prison, Rick risks his life to uncover the truth that only the real killer knows—what happened one bloody night eight years earlier.

Perfect for fans of David Baldacci

Ratings and reviews

It was an amazing book, I just love mystery thrillers, this whole book blew my mind. It went from an assignment I had to do, to a series I want to finish.

Sometimes it was hard to know who was talking because of the way it was written. I guess I'm old fashioned because I like punctuation. Other than that it was a good book.

This is a book you can't put down. Excellent book.
