Hours later, Sharon's body is discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Tortured by guilt, Alex wants answers. As his investigation begins, dark memories of his past with Sharon emerge, and a present full of madness, murder and sexual violence unfolds.

I generally enjoy the Alex Delaware books, but they are very formulaic. This one was not bag, but not his best.
