Maine Sunday Telegram Number-One Best Seller * Winner of the Silver Falchion Award for Best Procedural * Agatha Award Nominee for Best Contemporary Novel * Maine Literary Award Nominee for Best Crime Fiction

"A gripping atmospheric thriller that finds the dark side of Portland, Maine. The Detective Byron mystery series is one of the finest to arrive in a long time." (Number-one New York Times best-selling author Douglas Preston)

In this latest enthralling mystery from number-one best-selling author Bruce Robert Coffin, Detective Sergeant John Byron faces the greatest challenge of his career.

When a popular high school senior is shot by police following a late-night robbery, chaos ensues. The actions of the officer are immediately called into question. Amid community protests, political grandstanding, department leaks, and reluctant witnesses, Byron and his team must work quickly to find the missing pieces.

And when an attempt is made on the officer’s life, Byron shifts into overdrive, putting everything on the line. Was the attack merely retribution or something more sinister? The search for the truth may come at a price not even Byron can afford.

Clever and well written

I enjoy mysteries but usually not police-based ones. This one remains interesting throughout with strong character development and an intriguing plot.

That's not how I wanted it to end...

I loved the story. The characters felt real and believable. The story line was interesting and the pace held my attention. The ending is excellent, but it's not how I wanted it to end. It moved me to tears at one point, pulled into the story, envisioning it in my mind, feeling all the feels. The narrator wasn't my favorite but he wasn't bad.

Cheesy Story

This is one of the worst books I’ve experienced. The story line was bad, the reader using different voices was bad.
