Two bizarre deaths. One sadistic murderer. And the sheriff tasked with catching him. A decorated police officer is found dead in a farmer's field, covered in what appear to be wasp stings. Except it's almost Thanksgiving in New York, and three inches of snow cover the ground. Days later, a prominent businessman with a fear of heights leaps from Harmon's tallest skyscraper. Are the deaths related? Working beside Raven Hopkins and the private investigators of Wolf Lake Consulting, Sheriff Thomas Shepherd pieces together an unsolvable puzzle. The deeper Thomas digs, the more certain he is the victims concealed secrets that got them killed. Now someone is following the investigators. Someone who doesn't want them to learn the truth. Can the sheriff save his friends and family from a demented murderer?
