Former Navy SEAL James Nichols thought he had left war behind when he joined the police force. However, when his father, a highly respected detective, dies under suspicious circumstances, James is forced to question everything he believes about loyalty, law. and the institution he swore to serve.
 
What begins as grief becomes an obsession. Behind closed doors and within buried case files lie answers that someone is desperate to keep hidden. The deeper James digs, the more dangerous it becomes --not just for him, but also for the woman he loves and oath he still wants to honor.
 
As powerful forces close ranks, James must decide how far he is willing to go to uncover the truth --and whether anyone can ever truly separate justice and vengeance.
 
Some truths don't set you free. They set you on fire.
