Description
Deep in the night over Santa Catalina, a plane discreetly approaches a small airport nestled in the mountains to drop a package. Informed by a source, Inspector Stilwell and his team are front and center to witness what appears to be drug trafficking, but their intervention goes awry, and an officer is killed.Suspended pending an internal investigation, Stilwell isn't going to sit idly by. He embarks on the trail of a hiker who disappeared four years ago, whose backpack was recently found on Santa Catalina. His search leads Stilwell to Renée Ballard's cold case unit in LA. But at the same time, the plane incident resurfaces, and the two investigations intertwine, forcing him to take every risk.Working together on the mainland and on Santa Catalina, Ballard and Stilwell uncover a case of unexpected magnitude, whose ramifications seem to reach deep into the Los Angeles police department itself.
