A dangerous plot. A city on edge. And a weary cop fresh out of options.
When a hotel room attendant is found stabbed to death inside an opulent penthouse suite, Major Crimes Detective Scott Priest and his partner Nathan Kimball are called in to investigate. The scene is as grisly as any they’ve encountered, but it offers few clues. Who wanted her dead? And why would they go to such brutal lengths to carry out their objective? With the public’s faith in law enforcement at an all-time low, pressure mounts to deliver a swift resolution.
But it isn’t the only pressure that Priest is facing.
The department has a problem. Whispers of a criminal syndicate operating within its ranks are gathering steam. And the top brass decides that Priest, an honest cop with a rich family legacy, is the solution. He is asked to participate in a covert operation designed to weed out the bad elements.
Priest is initially reluctant. But when a troubling link between the hotel victim and a senior-level officer is uncovered, his conviction will suddenly be tested in ways it never has. Suspicions are heightened. Friendships are jeopardized. Loyalties are questioned.
With so much at stake—his murder investigation, his standing in the department, his esteemed family name—how far can Priest go to discover the truth?
The answer will shock even him.
