An overworked cop at the end of his tether. A missing person with disastrous connotations. A lost weekend that seems to want to haunt him forever, and the endless battle with his conscience over the death of his twin brother…

Portland, Oregon, isn’t exactly the most violent of cities, but the detectives and law enforcement officers still see their fair share of action. For Cory Van Doren, police work has always come naturally to him, and with every crime he solves, his reputation grows.

That is until his personal life becomes entangled in a very public case.

Now Cory must race against time to find the missing son of one of the city’s wealthiest men while fighting against a growing realization that one of the most important pieces of evidence might just be himself.

With the memories of his past a constant companion, Cory must figure out a way to slot them into the darkest reaches of his mind as he works the case. But how can he do that when everything he sees reminds him of what happened at Mount Hood?

As more clues are uncovered, Cory finds that his lost weekend might not have been the innocent blow-out he had presumed. Through his growing unease, he must figure out a way to not only solve the case, but to stop his thoughts from spiraling out of control as well.

Could his drunken confrontation with a cocky college kid be linked to the missing person? Why is every fiber of his being telling him there is more to this case? And how can he be thinking himself a suspect when he knows he’s not?
