The past comes back to haunt a high-profile defense attorney in the
newest book in the Baltimore series from the New York Times
bestselling author of Edge of Darkness and Monster in the Closet.
In his work as a defense attorney in Baltimore, Thorne has always been
noble to a fault--specializing in helping young people in trouble just
as someone did for him when he was younger. He plays the part of the
bachelor well, but he secretly holds a flame for his best friend and
business partner, Gwyn Weaver, a woman struggling to overcome her own
demons. After four years, he thinks he might finally be ready to confess
his feelings, come what may.
But his plans are derailed when he wakes up in bed with a dead
woman--her blood on his hands and no recollection of how he got there.
Whoever is trying to frame Thorne is about to lead him down the rabbit
hole of his past, something he thought he had outran long ago. Thorne
must figure out who has been digging into his secrets, how much they
know, and how far they will go to bring him down . . .
