When Frank Damien became a sheriff in the small town of Santa Barbara, nothing prepared him for a criminal investigation that would bring back the nightmares he thought he left on the streets of New York.

The ghastly-but strangely familiar-death of Cleo and Everett Hale has all the makings of a muddled affair: a few fragments of circumstantial evidence here and there, involving personalities whose complex mental faculties make tying them to the crime an unenviable proposition. Aside from taking on a seemingly dead-end, thankless mission, Frank engages in an unwise affair with the ex-wife of the deceased, whose son is the prime suspect in the murders. Frank suspects that this investigation has more twists and turns than anyone could have imagined.
