Detective Quinton Nolan has seen more than his fair share of grisly homicides in his career, but nothing can compare to his most recent case, a family annihilator. Why would Brian Merrick, a successful, well-liked pharmaceutical representative for one of the nation’s largest pharmaceutical companies, decide to kill his wife and two children before killing himself? That’ the question Detective Nolan needs answering. The case appears to be an open and shut case of murder-suicide until Detective Nolan gets an anonymous phone call telling him otherwise. The caller tells Nolan that the Merrick family was murdered, but not by Brian Merrick. Against the orders of his superiors, Detective Nolan digs deeper into the mystery and becomes the target of an assassin that’s determined to protect a dark, insidious secret.
