When Linda Phillips is found brutally murdered in her home, it appears to be an open-and-shut case. However, potential suspects multiply as Detective Parker Havenot digs deeper. He is finally left with only circumstantial evidence in a well-planned and executed crime.

However, Detective Havenot isn't convinced by the circumstantial evidence. He has a hunch that Linda's tragic death is the last link in a chain of events that began deep within her past. Months pass, and his relentless pursuit of the truth produces no other leads except to uncover a side of the quiet, rural town that surprises the seasoned homicide detective. Will the trail grow cold before Parker can identify the killer?
