In a remote New Mexico campground, six people are killed in an
apparently senseless murder spree. Deputy State Police Chief Kevin
Kerney suspects the slaying wasn't random at all--but rather a
calculated plot to eliminate one high-profile victim, retired judge,
Vernon Langsford. In piecing together the judge's shocking past, Kerney
discovers the victim's predilection for sexual indiscretions, a history
of family betrayal and greed, and a dark marriage that ended
mysteriously and violently. But as Kerney gets closer to the heart of a
terrible crime, it's a woman from his own past who emerges with a
stunning secret of her own.
