After a personal and professional breakdown, Chief Detective Corus was demoted and tasked with focusing on three murder cases he’d let slip in previous months. Fresh off the thrilling conclusion to his first case, Corus is on the hunt to solve the next cold murder, a computer engineer stabbed and drowned at a company party attended by hundreds of people. But standing in his way are a Billionaire with dark secrets, his own meddling coworkers, and a broken and corrupted disk obscuring another decades old mystery. Meanwhile, Corus finds a link between the Sheriff’s Department computer network and the Russians involved with the murder at Skokim Pass. With Fletcher’s help, Corus must infiltrate the Russian organization to get answers to his questions. But what will he do when they demand he kill a county official and launder dirty money? Corus must also cope with unexpected romantic urges, disconcerting reminders of his military past, and an obese “wizard” with the skill to peer into hidden digital realms. Corus’ world refuses to conform to his old black and white absolutes, instead growing greyer with every step he takes. Can Corus embrace the chaos to solve his cases and confront the questions tearing at him from within? Or is the ubiquity of human corruption destined to outmatch him?
