A Beacon in the Mist

Obsession cuts both ways.

Dr. Liam O’Keefe is a top surgeon in Washington, D.C., a master of control in the operating room. At home, it’s a different story. With three young children and a wife, Sara, who feels her career as an investigative journalist has been disregarded, the strain on their marriage is quietly reaching a breaking point.

Then Sara is found murdered just blocks from their home. While the police stall, Liam begins searching for answers, and possibly for redemption. What starts as a desperate attempt to make sense of her death becomes a slow unraveling of the life they built together. The secrets she left behind. The ones he has tried to forget. Everyone is a suspect. Even Liam himself. The clues start to fall into place, but the truth is just out of reach.

Set in the heart of Washington, this medical mystery peels back the polished surface of marriage, ambition, and control.
