Another grisly murder raises more questions for Tripp. And navigating the search for suspects in the small town he grew up in proves difficult, as he’s forced to take a closer look at friends and acquaintances. Weeks pass, and lack of evidence, coupled with forensic testing hampered by the Chicago bombings, taking priority at the state’s testing lab over the obscure murders in the small farming town – put Tripp at a steep disadvantage. But a cold case in a neighboring county might offer clues and macabre insight into the evolution of the killer.

A bizarre murder scene offers challenges for Tripp, as a lack of clues and suspects leaves him facing a steep learning curve. He’s dealt even more adversity when Lark Diaz, the Chicago detective who was serving as interim sheriff in his stead, is called back after a series of bombings leaves the Windy City reeling. Struggling on his own, the stress of the case puts Tripp’s recovery at risk, and his lack of expertise endangers the already perplexing investigation. But a young witness might hold a vital clue, pointing to something supernatural behind the killings...if what he saw was real.

Sheriff Tripp Ellis is something of a legacy. His father and grandfather both served in the same position as county sheriff in the smallest county seat in East Central Illinois for the last 60 years. And while his family might stake a claim on the law, being a cop isn’t really in Tripp’s blood. But everything changes on a fateful day during a routine traffic stop as he miraculously survives a near-fatal shooting. The road to recovery is full of physical and mental hurdles and nearly a year after the incident, Tripp returns to work, making the solemn promise to be a better sheriff. But his vow is quickly tested as a prominent couple is mysteriously attacked in their own home by an enigmatic assailant.
