In Book 1 of this thriller series, detective Rick Cruz is accused of murdering his uncle who also happens to be the District Attorney. Incited from his refuge in the San Bernardino Mountains, Cruz returns to Los Angeles and the dark mystery that torments him. Rick is caught in the chaos as his life undercover and his life as a detective collide and he races to clear his name. Did he kill the man who was like a father to him? Will the syndicate he was working to bring down, or the cops, get to him before he can solve the case? Will he and the siren Assistant District Attorney still feel that unquenchable heat between them? Find out as Cruz traverses the noir landscape where heinous crimes permeate the Hollywood glitz. Lauded as "The next Departed" by a Hollywood producer, this is the story of Cruz coming out of the shadows to face The Shadow. For Cruz, justice is relative.
