Post Description

1. Am I the Killer? - Is it really possible not to remember killing someone?
Peter, a brain-injured veteran with a motive, is arrested for murder. The victim bullied Peter throughout his youth, and, on the night of the murder, he discovered the bully stole his fianceé while Peter served overseas.
Detective Luca leads the investigation but believes the marine's inability to recall events on the fateful night are injury related and not an attempt by Peter to hide the truth.
As political pressure to solve the case rises, Luca pursues other leads but evidence points at Peter. Even his brother, Vinny, who dropped everything to help his injured brother recover, begins to question Peter's guilt.
Peter's lawyers, faced with a client either unwilling or unable to assist in his own defense, recommend he cop a plea. Frustrated, Luca attempts to move on but is haunted by an old case that fuels his obsession to determine the truth about what happened that night.

With time running out, Detective Luca must find a way to regain his swagger and solve the case before the killer strikes again.

As a cunning killer targets his next victim, fear grips the Palm treed streets of upscale Naples, creating a new challenge for Luca.
The timing of the threat couldn't be worse. Luca feels his skills are dulled by chemotherapy and he's trying to navigate a romantic relationship with his partner, Mary Ann Vargas.
Leads are scarce and conflicting. Luca begins to wonder if he's chasing a single vigilante or two dedicated sociopaths. The new sheriff is convinced Luca's in over his head and calls in the FBI to take over when the body count rises.
It's a heavy blow to Luca's reputation, whose stakes in the game of cat and mouse increase by the hour.

…had roofies in their system.
Why would someone give the victims a date-rape drug?

Why hadn’t John gotten on his flight?
In cases like this, Luca never trusted the client. And he could tell this one had skeletons. She wouldn’t like it, but his job was to dig. The first thing he discovered shouldn’t have shocked him, but it did.
Luca did
