Detective Jonathan Stride's first wife, Cindy, died of
cancer eight years ago, but
her ghost hangs over Stride's relationship with current
lover, and fellow
detective, Serena Dial. When Serena witnesses a brutal
murder outside a Duluth
bar, she stumbles onto a case with roots that go all the way
back to the last year
of Cindy Stride's life.
At the time, Cindy and Stride were on opposite sides of a
domestic murder
investigation. Gorgeous, brilliant Janine Snow--a surgeon
transplanted to Duluth
from Texas--was the prime suspect in the shooting death of
her husband. Cindy
believed her friend Janine was innocent, but Stride thought
all the evidence
pointed to the surgeon--even though the gun was never found.
Despite Cindy's
attempts to help Janine, the case led to a high-profile
murder trial in which
Janine was convicted and sent to prison.
During the current investigation, Serena finds a gun used in
the murder of a woman
connected to an organized crime syndicate--a gun that turns
out to be the same
weapon used to kill Janine Snow's husband. Two unrelated
cases years apart
suddenly have a mysterious connection. As Stride
investigates the possibility that
human traffickers are targeting women in the Duluth port, he
begins to question
whether he made a terrible mistake eight years ago by
putting an innocent woman in
prison. And whether he will ever be able to make peace with
the memory of his
beloved wife and give his heart to Serena.
