FBI agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in ten years. Nell and her father have never had much of a relationship, and Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, brutally murdered when Nell was just seven. After her father dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns home to close his estate and ends up becoming involved in his last homicide case: an investigation into the brutal murder of two young women. The further Nell digs, the more she finds herself plagued by doubts surrounding her mother's death, and her own role in exonerating her father in that very case.
