Publisher's summary

In the dim glow of a majestic beach house shrouded in the fog, Detective Matt Jones stands amidst the chaos of a crime scene that whispers of a story untold, a secret so potent it claimed the lives of a writer, his wife and young daughter.

The air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and the silent echoes of a family's last moments. The Los Angeles Times will mourn one of its own, and the City of Angels will buzz with rumors and fear.

But for Matt Jones, this isn't just another murder case; it's a personal vendetta against the shadows that snatch away the innocent.

With each stone he overturns, the web of mystery tightens, drawing him closer to a truth that's as elusive as the depraved killer he hunts.

Every face he sees could be a friend or foe. Every line he crosses could mean life or death. As the pieces begin to add up, Jones realizes that the line between justice and vengeance is razor thin and about to cut quick and deep.

It's not just about finding the killer anymore. It's about facing the darkness within and emerging on the other side, still human, still driven—but forever changed.

Critic reviews

“A moody, white-knuckle murder tale. Ellis’ story moves at a steady beat; brief scenes and rapid-fire dialogue deftly showcase the detective methodically unraveling the mystery. Moreover, there’s a taut atmosphere, as Matt examines crime scenes alone; covertly meets someone at a fog-covered, darkened house; and even stumbles on another body. The narrative further intensifies once the villain becomes evident. Questions linger all the way to the end while the denouement will surely reverberate long after readers have finished this riveting book.” (Kirkus Reviews)
