When California television researcher Douglas Finly is found dead in an abandoned car wash, the residents of Corinth fear for their safety. While Denali and her sidekick, DaVinci, begin to investigate the circumstances of Finly’s death, Denali learns the researcher may have uncovered information that got him killed. The local sheriff suspects the culprit is a new man in town: a Marine veteran called John Boone. Boone is quiet and mysterious, and he has no alibi.
But after he rescues Denali from an attempted hit-and-run, the question of who the killer is becomes increasingly complicated. Boone and Denali team up to hunt a killer who won’t stop; but they are running out of time before Denali herself becomes the third victim in a tangled web of greed, trafficking and murder.
