'Detective Alicia “Berg” Raymond is lying. She’s lying to the Chicago Police Department, to her boyfriend, Captain Jay O’Loughlin, but most of all, she is lying to herself—about her past, her future, and her addiction.

'As Berg investigates a series of brutal rapes, she juggles finding justice for the victims, keeping her own sordid past buried, and wrapping her damaged head around living in a state of domestic bliss she’s certain she doesn’t deserve.

'But when enemies from the past threaten her present, she is once again vulnerable to the demons that have plagued her. It’s only a matter of time before the lies unravel and destroy the fairy tale she’s finally started believing.

'Can she save anyone from the lurking darkness or will her own bloodlines drag her under—this time for good?'

'A mother is murdered in an apparent robbery. A young woman is raped and beaten in a home invasion. Chicago Detective Alicia "Berg" Raymond doesn't believe in random crime and is certain both cases are more than they seem–but can she trust her instincts, or is she too distracted by the feelings she has for former partner and new boss? For Berg, the need for justice burns deep and fills the emptiness where therapy and relationships fall short. She's certain the husband knows more than he's willing to admit, but the trap to catch the killer is the loophole that sets him free. The rapist is caught and sent to prison, but when Berg gets closer to the family devastated by his depravity, their behavior doesn't add up. As Berg fights to prevent another murder, she crosses the line between hero and villain–and there's no turning back.'
