A man who can't remember. Another who refuses to forget. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
It’s five years since his wife disappeared, but maverick private-eye Evan Buckley is still reeling. Tormented by demons and consumed by his unrelenting quest for the truth, he loses himself in other people's problems.

When college buddy Jesse Springer shows up with a wad of explicit photographs that arrived in the mail, Evan is roped into the most bizarre case of blackmail he’s ever encountered—because Jesse swears blind he can’t remember a thing. But can Evan believe him? And if things weren't bad enough, a psychopathic killer from the past embarks on a crusade of psychological revenge and twisted mind games that threaten to plunge Evan back into his darkest days.

Adrift in a sea of betrayal and lies as the body count climbs, Evan is forced to choose between his gut instinct and the blatant evidence—and the only thing he knows for sure is the wrong choice will be punished with death.

One bad decision can scar you for life . . .
Fifty years ago Frank Hanna made a mistake. He’s never forgiven himself. Nor has anybody else for that matter. Now the time has come to atone for his sins, and there’s only one person he can trust . . .

Maverick private-eye Evan Buckley has had some tough cases in his time. Looking for somebody who might never have existed may well be the toughest, peeling back fifty years of lies and deceit to uncover the tragic story hidden underneath. Trouble is, not everybody likes a happy ending and some very nasty people are out to make sure he doesn’t succeed.

To make matters worse, Evan’s own past is back to bite him with a vengeance, as his nemesis, Carl Hendricks, feeds his festering hatred from his prison cell, and sets a killer with a bow and a grudge on Evan's tail.

They told him she was dead. Now he's not so sure. And there are easier ways to learn the awful truth . . .
WHEN Levi Stone pushes a picture of his wife Lauren in another man’s arms across private-eye Evan Buckley’s desk, Evan’s all set to show him the door – because he doesn’t do that sort of sleazy gutter work anymore.

But then Levi drops a bombshell that makes Evan change his mind – fast. And it’s not only the uncanny and unnerving similarities to the unsolved disappearance of his own wife, Sarah. As Evan digs deeper into Lauren’s shadowy past, the things he unearths force Levi to face the bitter truth – that he never knew his wife at all – or any of the dark secrets that surround her mother’s death and the disappearance of her father.

And Evan isn’t the only one looking for Lauren. A man from the past she never knew, evil incarnate, sends his dogs to hunt her down, to exact his rightful revenge. It’s payback time and Evan’s caught in the middle of a lethal vendetta.

But who is the hunter and who is the hunted?

Four desperate men. One dangerous gamble. No easy outcome.

What would you give in exchange for your soul?

Two roads. One reckless decision. No turning back.

Be careful what you wish for . . .
