Detective Olivia Mercer is paired with the enigmatic Adrian Sterling, the youngest graduate from the police academy and the son of a legendary detective. Adrian is charming, brilliant, and infuriatingly secretive, especially about the four years he vanished after his father's murder. As they investigate a series of twisted cases-from a millionaire's poisoning to a pregnant teen's staged suicide-Olivia begins to unravel the layers of Adrian's past. Haunted by cryptic messages and a predator from his darkest days, Adrian's carefully constructed facade starts to crack. Together, they navigate a web of deception, but the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone from Adrian's past is hunting him, and they won't stop until they reclaim what they believe is theirs.
