What would it be like to return to your hometown after twenty-five years in prison for a crime you have…
maintained you did not commit? And why would you return? Walter Desmond is back in Trafalgar, British Columbia, having been officially exonerated when new evidence showed corruption at worst, incompetence at best, by the Trafalgar City Police conducting the investigation. His pitbull attorney is seeking five million in damages from the provincial government. But Walt has not returned to Trafalgar to pursue money or revenge. He just wants to know the why of it. The family of the murdered girl, Sophia D’Angelo, is bitterly determined to see Walt returned to prison―or dead. But for Trafalgar’s police, including Sergeant John Winters and Constable Molly Smith, the reality is: if Walter didn’t kill Sophia, someone else did. So, case reopened. It lands on Winters’ desk. The records are moldering. One investigating officer is dead, the other is retired―and not talking. The police are instructed to treat Walt as if he’d never been arrested or convicted. But then a townswoman, then a boat woman, are attacked by a rapist, the media gets active, and tempers dangerously flare.

But trouble interferes when Lucky, too stubborn for her own good, stands up to two bullies in a local coffee shop. To his horror, Paul recognizes one of the men as his estranged son, Matt. Early the next morning, a frantic Matt calls his father for help. Lucky and Paul arrive to find a body--but no Matt. Matt is an experienced wilderness adventurer, and all signs indicate that he has escaped into the backcountry. To Sergeant Eddie Blechta of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, running is all the proof of guilt he needs. Lucky's daughter, Constable Molly Smith, abandons her chaotic Thanksgiving kitchen to offer her mom support. She has no intention of meddling in the investigation, but when Matt's girlfriend asks for her help, Molly finds herself not only interfering but putting herself on the wrong side of Edward Blechta.

She was a respected teacher in an apparently solid marriage and living a quiet life. Winters, with the help of young Constable Molly Smith, digs deep into the Lindsays' marriage and friendships, searching for a suspect and motive, but one thought continually arises in his mind: Is it possible this was a random killing or a case of mistaken identity? If so, who did it? And who in this small, close-knit community might be next? Meanwhile, on the double-black-diamond runs of the Blue Sky resort, Molly Smith meets a handsome, charming man, one who's as good a skier as she is, and she realizes it's time to make some serious decisions about the direction of her life--both personal and professional.
