If Detective Frank Bennett tries hard enough, he can sometimes forget that Eden Archer, his partner in the Homicide Department, is also a moonlighting serial killer . . .

While Frank and Eden chase shadows, a different kind of danger grows closer to home. Franks new girlfriend Imogen Stone is fascinated by cold cases, and her latest project the disappearance of the two Tanner children more than twenty years ago is leading her straight to Edens door.
And, as Frank knows all too well, asking too many questions about Eden Archer can get you buried as deep as her past
