Suspended - a word Katie Freeman never thought she would hear. Now, here she was with an entire week to ruminate on her possible ruined career. And to make matters worse, she had brought her partner, Michael Powell, down with her. All of that changes when Michael and his former partner, Stan Odenthal, show up on her doorstep with a complex cold case that has haunted Stan for over two decades.
Twenty-three years ago, three women were murdered and their bodies left in a field -- all evidence pointing to ritualistic killings. The case remained unsolved, and Stan was bothered by the many unanswered questions and avenues of investigation that were left unexplored. Why did the killings stop after three? What did the ritualistic markings on the bodies really mean? Why these women?
Now with free time on their hands, Katie and Michael agree to help Stan with the one last case he couldn't solve. But with only four days to find a murderer, Katie and Michael must race the clock to discover answers before finding out whether the ax will fall on their careers.
