Promise Falls isn't the kind of town where really bad things happen. It has its share of secrets, like any town, but the really bad stuff? No, no way, not in Promise Falls. So when the Langley family is shot to death inside their home, the community is shocked and outraged.

Albert Langley was a criminal lawyer and a good one. Was his entire family murdered because of one of his past cases? No one can wrap their heads around the thing. Especially not Jim and Ellen Cutter, the next door neighbors. They didn't hear a thing the night the Langley's were shot.

Police suspicion soon focuses close to home for Jim and Ellen when they discover their son was hiding in the house that night. Although they're sure of Derek's innocence, proving it is another thing. It's one helluva complicated web that Jim is trying to untangle and there are quite a few local townsfolk not so keen on seeing the threads coming unraveled. It's not long before Jim and Ellen panic and have to consider "What if we're next?"

Murder, suicide, adultery, lies and even plagiarism. It's all here. It's all good fun and just when you think you have it figured out; you haven't. Keep your hands and feet safely inside the car, this is one wild roller coaster of a ride you're about to embark on!
