When a young private detective, by sheer chance, becomes drawn into a police case, he can hardly imagine how dangerous and convoluted this story will turn out to be.
What ties the dead together?

Most importantly, what will the truth about an old secret—one they tried to bury forever—lead to, at the cost of other people’s lives and huge sums of money?
The investigation promises to become a real test: Stillwater is reluctant to reveal his secrets.
