Cait’s brother, Liam, has been shot. He’s discovered next to two other bodies. Comrades. Friends.
While Liam hovers near death, Cait is determined to find out what happened that late night, that midnight, in the dark gym where Liam trains for his MMA fights. Why were his manager, Frank Bellows, and his friend, Kavan Ciar, killed? Why is Liam still alive?
Cait’s sometime-partner, San Serra police detective Jake Sager, thinks he knows the answer: Liam shot his friends, then turned the gun on himself.
If you know Cait, then you know how fiercely she defends her family. Just imagine how she reacts to Sager’s hypothesis—hint: not well. The two of them nearly come to blows as Cait insists that her brother is innocent, while Sager is just as adamant that Liam is their best suspect in the murders. He challenges her to come up with a different answer.
Cait is on the clock to save her brother and clear his name, but as the clues start piling up, one clue contradicting another, the “spinning puzzle pieces” in Cait’s mind refuse to settle into any sort of picture that makes sense to her. And when a murderous hitman for the Russian mob gets involved…
… the question isn’t only if Cait can save her brother. Can she save herself?
