Dante DiMarchese is a well-regarded forensic psychologist and the man responsible for putting the Bailey Beach serial killer behind bars. When a soldier home from a tour in Afghanistan is charged with manslaughter, Dante is immediately called on to help.

Dante's focus is tested when he starts receiving threats from the Bailey Beach Killer who is threating to destroy Dante's life and an ex-brother-in-law who pulls Dante into the middle of a family dispute over an inheritance from a still-living father.

Set in the heart of New York, can Dante unravel the legacies and lies that others have left behind? Can he contain his own deceptions?
