Ex-police officer Thompson Holst only has a few months to clean up his act before his wife leaves for good. When he's hired to privately investigate the death of a local school principal, he's determined to prove he can stay sober long enough to solve the case. The deeper he digs, though, the more the signs point toward murder.
The police have already ruled the death as accidental--but the victim's hunting buddy is keeping a secret about a private lodge in the deep woods of Western Kentucky, and Thompson is certain it will lead him to the real killer. As Thompson delves into Adam’s private life, a picture emerges that’s far from the straight-laced image Adam’s widow will do anything to preserve.
Even as he hunts down a murderer, his own dark secrets eat away at him. He'll need to stay focused to uncover the killer, but without the haze of alcohol, he can't face the past that cost him his job, his wife, and his honor. He'll have to choose: reveal the lies that threaten to drown him, or lose his family and let a murderer walk free.
