First published 2009
Christopher Flynn has rebuilt his life after years of rebellion that nearly destroyed him. He works for his father's company, dates a woman he respects, and keeps his past mistakes buried. But his father's eyes still hold distrust. One day at work, Flynn and his partner discover a temptation almost impossible to resist. Flynn chooses correctly, yet old patterns resurface. His carefully constructed stability crumbles as treachery and violence return. Flynn's instincts pull him backward into familiar darkness. With his father and closest friends beside him, he takes a final shot at defeating the forces that want to drag him down. The battle for his soul plays out in a world that shows little mercy but can reveal unexpected beauty.
