First published 2020
Rick Cahill lost his eyesight nine months ago when a gunshot wound to the face ended his career as a private investigator. Now he struggles to build a new life while leaving his old one behind. His former partner Moira MacFarlane approaches him for help on a seemingly simple case involving Rick's ex-best friend. She needs Rick for just one interview, but he hesitates, knowing the dangers of stirring up his past. Against his better judgment, Rick agrees to help. The case quickly spirals into violence and murder. Rick's lifelong drive to uncover truth at any cost battles against his desire to escape the demons that cost him his sight and nearly his life. When his friend becomes a murder suspect, Rick must decide whether to help someone he no longer trusts while doubting his own diminished abilities. A killer moves through the shadows as Rick navigates this dangerous world of darkness.
