When Ellen Dumont visited her parent's gravesite alone, it never occurred to her that would be her last moment on earth...

450 murders is a slow year for Top Chicago Homicide Detective Aaron Wolfe. He carries them all with him. Wolfe learne long ago to bury the pain so he could navigate the carnage and hunt the killers. But two decades of the rising crimson tide and failing legal system were more than he could bear. There were too many innocent victims, and too many monsters he caught escaped through the legal cracks. On the eve of Wolfe's resignation, he saw the man convicted on the Dunn family killings would be released early—another twisted, legal maneuver. When Wolfe had taken on the Fetter and Dumont cases, his world started to take another turn. Some monsters that beat the system were killed by sniper fire, and the parade of snipers had their skulls crushed by bare hands. Wolfe knew two evil factions had engaged in a dark war that could change everything. Can Aaron Wolfe uncover the secret force on a reckless mission to remedy the failing criminal justice system? Can he find and stop the skull-crushing beast terrorizing the city? Or will Wolfe succumb to his battle scars and allow the new kind of justice to prevail in the city of predators?
