Detective Jason Jerrard is back in the third installment of Johnston's detective series, where love, betrayal, and revenge explode into a life-or-death situation.

Detective Jason Jerrard has been enjoying the good life. Retired at an early age, he is relaxing and living the life of his dreams-until the death of someone dear to him forces him out of retirement and back to the police force to investigate the murder. Jason's sudden return to the police force threatens his relationship with Monique, and when revenge and betrayal lead to a life-or-death situation, Jason has to choose between his heart and mind in order to survive. Will Jason's past once again destroy all that he's built in his life? Or will he put an end to it, once and for all?
