Liam Conner expected a quiet, relaxing weekend with old friends when he returned to his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. That plan vanished with a single phone call. His high school best friend had been accused of murdering his wife the night before. Now, from the county jail, that friend was reaching out —not just for the support of a friend, but for the expertise to help clear his name.
His homecoming now took a sharp turn, with events stirring memories from two parts of his past that Liam had hoped to leave dormant – his time with the CIA as an analyst and special investigator and his own time in that same county jail over twenty years ago.
As Liam digs into the circumstances surrounding the murder, another killing involving someone else close to him shifts the investigation’s dynamic. With time and increasing forensic evidence working against him, Liam turns to friends from his past for help. Together, they work to untangle the complicated web of connections between the two murders. Determined to find a link other than himself, Liam is forced to operate from the shadows to bring a killer out of the darkness.
In doing so, he knows he isn’t just fighting to save his friend – but also himself.
