A frantic late-night call sends Kate Crossfield to her mother’s home, only to find her lifeless body in a pool of blood. According to police she is the victim of a home invasion gone wrong, but Kate doesn’t believe it. Especially when she learns her mother had a frightening encounter at work earlier that day and her employer, Sidney Kohl, died the same night. When Sidney’s wife contracts Kate to write a corporate history Kate finds herself searching for a killer in the halls of the family-owned petroleum exploration company, with all clues pointing to the family itself. While unravelling the relationship between the two deaths, Kate discovers a secret that will forever change her view of her own life, and rekindles an old flame with childhood friend Michael Donovan, police detective on the case. Family dynamics and corporate fraud underpin a story of greed, betrayal, and human frailty.
