Description

Former FBI Agent Elle Adams thought she left her tragic past behind when she retreated to the serene confines of the Little Hat Creek Preserve.

But her shrouded past refuses to stay buried, especially when ex-military August Hermes, haunted by secrets and pursued by a corrupt senator, shatters the fragile peace they've built.

As FBI agent Allen Peabody delves into a string of gruesome murders in Sault Ste. Marie, he unwittingly unearths a web of deception stretching from the senator's office to the heart of a Mexican drug cartel.

His assistant, Terrence Mainstone, walks a tightrope of loyalty, his true allegiance shrouded in mystery.

With Mia, Elle's loyal canine partner to help sniff out the truth, the discovery of a body near their camp ignites a chain reaction of betrayal and revelation, and August's past collides with the present when another military buddy resurfaces...bringing the shadows of their buried past with him.

In a desperate bid to protect those he loves, August plunges into the heart of darkness, determined to expose the truth.

But as allies become adversaries and enemies close in, Elle and August find themselves facing a reckoning that could shatter their world forever, and leave them all Dead and Gone...
