About the book

Grant Perrin leaves his pregnant wife, Leah, on a Friday night to check a job. His company never sent him. By morning, he is missing.

When police find Grant dead at an unfinished construction site, Detective Erin Kelleher begins reconstructing the life he left behind—and the earlier career he once had as private investigator Grant Brennan.

The name change was legal. The past was never hidden. But fifteen years earlier, Grant was connected to a Virginia case that appeared settled on paper.

Now Erin has to determine which parts of that old story were facts, which were assumptions, and why Grant was pulled back into it before he died.
