One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor.
His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense,
and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should
be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter? As the homicide
investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren
must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police
brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a trooper's mind while also
unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband?
And would a mother harm her own child? For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened.
She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks
down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce
of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is
too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be
made to pay.
