Elizabeth Black is the hero. She’s a police officer who, acting alone, managed to rescue a young girl from a locked basement by shooting two of her abductors. But she’s a police officer with her own hidden past. And it’s not just her.
Adrien Wall got out of prison, where he spent thirteen terrible years. And behind the very first door he opens, there’s a boy with a revolver in his hand—burning with a desire to avenge his mother’s death.
But that’s only the smaller of Adrien’s problems. In the depths of the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a body lies cooling under a white cloth. And it’s not the first one that was found there…
This is a city on the edge of a precipice. It’s walking the path of redemption.
