About this ebook

Five years ago, the police department was shattered when a psychotic hit man turned his rage against homicide detectives and their families. Now, the evidence suggests that the same killer has returned.

For Andy, a newly promoted supervisor who was targeted five years ago, digging into this case could mean opening old wounds. For his former partner, a washed-out drunk, those old wounds never healed at all...

Approximately 32 paperback pages, a novelette.
