Detective Lawrence Hoskins is already on shaky ground. He’s the newest on the team for a start, and not a natural, not like some of the others.

Now he’s fallen into the lead role in a serial murder investigation and the bets are on how long he can stay there. But if there’s anything guaranteed to make him try harder it’s a challenge. That and his ex-sheriff father breathing down his neck.

Except this case is more than just a challenge… it’s a gamechanger.

The victims are young men with their wrists slashed and bodies left in plain view. The killer is meticulously careful and difficult to read. And as the body count rises along with the pressure from his superiors, peers, the victims’ families, the press, and himself, Lawrence is prepared to do anything to make it stop…

Even if that means pushing the boundaries of what’s expected of him.

Even if it means questioning everything the job has taught him to be.
