In the small farm town of Mission, just outside Vancouver, BC, Deena Hunter, rising-star Assistant Deputy Warden, fights for the truth by investigating a death everyone says is a suicide. As her investigation progresses events conspire against her and send her into the arms of her police contact, Rich Webster, the one man she let get away for all the right reasons – reasons that haunt him to this day.

But being alone in a prison is dangerous even for a warden and Deena's search for the truth endangers not only herself, but everything she loves.

A fast-paced story by the acclaimed Karen L. McKee. A story that questions the very value of truth and love and relationships.
