Detective Gavin DeGrassi is out of his depth solving his latest case, the brutal slaying of Dom George Kaiser. When Dr. Ben Haverson is called to consult as both psychologist and Dom, Gavin finds more than answers to his case questions—he finds his balance, his courage, and his place… as well as the attention of a calculated killer.
