Ashes and Lies

He thought he had buried the past. Then Scott Samson walks into his office.

Private investigator Daniel Cross knows that some wounds never truly heal. His world shattered twelve years ago when someone brutally murdered his ex-wife. The justice system caught Scott Samson, convicted him, and imprisoned him for over ten years. Daniel built a new name and a quiet agency, believing that justice had been served and his darkest chapter was finally closed.

Scott Samson walks into his office.

Fresh out of prison after serving his twelve-year sentence, Samson isn't looking for forgiveness. He wants to clear his name. He claims someone set him up, and he holds a piece of evidence from that fateful night that could destroy Daniel's new life—evidence proving the actual killer is still out there and that Daniel himself was the original target.

Daniel finds himself torn between an insatiable thirst for vengeance and the terrifying truth Samson holds, which forces him to team up with the man he hates the most. But in a seaside town of Arthur's Point, digging up the past is a dangerous game, and the actual killer is ready to finish what they started twelve years ago.
