When a teenage boy is found tortured and branded with a cryptic symbol, Detective Myra Sullivan is pulled into a case that cuts to close to home. Seven years ago, a mark just like this nearly destroyed her-and now it’s back.

With her loyal K-9 partner, Maverick, and a rookie still learning the ropes, Myra follows a trail that leads deeper than gang rivalries or street politics. The symbol isn’t just a signature. It’s a message.
