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

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.
