Seriously injured in adolescence, Ray's WWII duty included repeated convoys across the U-boat infested, lethal North Atlantic. Then after decades as a commercial mariner Ray served in Vietnam twice.

As the superintendent of a Massachusetts prison halfway house, Natalie Price thought she'd seen it all.

When a group of extremely powerful men are implicated as her clients, the question on everyone's mind becomes, Is one of these pillars of society her murderer? In fact, one of the men unmasked by the media is Natalie Price's boss, Deputy Commissioner of Corrections Steven Carlyle. Nat and Carlyle don't exactly get along, but she wonders if he's capable of murder. With a dead young woman front and center in Nat's mind, and the promise of more to follow, she heads undercover into a seedy and dangerous world, putting her own life at risk in order to discover the truth.
