When renowned film historian Dr. Edward Fischer is found murdered in his Boca Raton home, federal agents Ethan Marston and Robbie Holm brace for another cold trail. But when Fischer’s notes on a long-lost 1920s silent film go missing, the case explodes into a dangerous hunt for a truth buried for over a century.
Hidden in the grainy reels of an old film is something no one was ever meant to see: the real Lady in Flowers murder, accidentally caught on film in 1923. The victim’s identity was erased. Her killers became royalty. And Fischer had just figured it all out.
Now, Ethan and Robbie are chasing shadows across Florida’s political underworld, uncovering a web of embezzlement, cover-ups, and contract killings that built an empire. Someone’s already been framed for Fischer’s murder. The cops are compromised. And the closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more obvious it becomes: this dynasty kills to survive.
Meanwhile, Agents Muñoz and Birn are drawn into the bizarre death of a mermaid performer in a tank with no water and no exit. It looks like a freak accident, but nothing about it makes sense. Until it starts making too much sense.
Genre: Thriller
