A headline murder. A rookie investigator. A race against the clock-and against the past.
With his newly minted detective badge, "Mac" McAllister reports for his first assignment with the Oregon State Police: a particularly gruesome homicide. It's a headline case, as the victim-Megan Tyson-was brutally murdered mere weeks before her wedding.
The investigation turns up far too many suspects and too little hard evidence. Why would the beautiful Megan, engaged to a wealthy businessman, be involved with the likes of long line-up of questionable characters that seem connected to her in more ways than one? With more questions than answers, Mac tries to uncover the secrets Megan took to her grave.
While the autopsy answers how Megan was killed, it doesn't reveal a killer or a motive. Can Mac and his partner sort through the lies and alibis before Megan's murderer strikes again?
Not sure that he can trust his instincts, Mac depends heavily on the advice of his partner-a seasoned detective with a strong faith in God. A faith Mac has no use for until he must come to terms with his own past and the secrets that haunt him.

Mac is dealing with three difficult cases, two dead bodies . . . and a decision of the heart.
It's been just three months since Detective "Mac" McAllister solved his first homicide case with the Oregon State Police. Now he's working the search for a ski instructor who has mysteriously disappeared. The man's parents claim their son wouldn't have committed suicide, but they suspect his girlfriend of something sinister.
The case gets more complicated when Mac and his partner, Kevin, are called to investigate a homicide nearby that may or may not be related. A few days later, a body turns up in the Columbia River, and the autopsy reveals surprising information about the victim's suspicious death.
When their investigation seems at a dead end, Mac is determined not to let the crimes go unsolved-even if it means putting his life on the line to catch the killer.
