    Summary

    “I think that when statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake of their public duties, they lead their country by a short route to chaos." - Sir Thomas More, A Man For All Seasons.

    Or do they?

    Kim Burgess, still wrestling with decisions—decisions about a possible side job, decisions about her relationship with Adam Ruzek, and about what’s best for her daughter Makayla, is drawn into a case of a violent assault on a young woman, that turns into a conspiracy that spans two cities and thirty years, starting on the other side of the world.

    Adam Ruzek is struggling with questions of his own, especially after reeling from the betrayal of another father figure/mentor in Sal Ortiz.

    Along the way, they will find new allies, new friends, and new adversaries. Kim will find a possible new way of raising a child, one that could work with whatever form her relationship takes with Adam. Adam will be exposed to a mentor who might show him that you can still have a code of honor, of right and wrong, without crossing lines you can’t uncross.

    All while fighting for the original victim.
