Marty Hogan was a good cop, until a shocking case sent her to the razor's edge . . .

A sadistic killer pushed Chicago cop Marty Hogan past her limits-and it was all caught on video. She lost her job, her sense of self, her entire world . . . until an open detective position in small-town Texas gave her a chance at redemption.

But she's about to learn that the past always catches up . . .

Police Chief Clay Settlemeyer knows all about mistakes and second chances-he's still earning his own, so he's willing to give Marty the opportunity to prove herself. But when her ex-partner is murdered, it looks like Chicago is coming to small-town Texas with a vengeance.
