Jack Willows and Claire Parker are on the case again… This time a local police officer has been murdered. Was his unusual sexual appetite the cause of his demise? Or is this case deeper than it first appears? Is it a jilted lover? A con with a grudge? Or is there a corrupt cop within their midst? Meanwhile, Ross Larson has just been released from jail. Inside he developed a friendship with fellow inmate Garret, who was serving 25 years for robbery and murder. Two hundred thousand dollars was never recovered from his latest heist. Did Ross receive the necessary clues from Garret, before his untimely death from cancer, to locate the money? Or is it lost forever? Struggling to adapt to his release, Ross connects with Shannon, Garret’s girlfriend, in an effort to maintain some familiarity with his life. But is Shannon genuinely interested in Ross, or is it just a ploy to retrieve the missing cash? Ross must decide whether the search for the money is worth the risk of returning to jail, or to write it off forever. Follow Ross as he battles his inner turmoil of greed, conscience and paranoia in what is another explosive episode in the Willows and Parker crime series.
