Scott Finn worked his way out of Bostonโs toughest neighbourhood to become a rising star in the cityโs most elite law firm. When the body of Natalie Caldwell, one of his closest colleagues, and former lover, is found floating in Boston harbour - her heart surgically removed from her chest - it appears she is the seventh victim of โLittle Jackโ, the Jack-the-Ripper-style murderer terrorizing Boston.
But police detective Linda Flaherty isnโt so sure. With Natalieโs death, Finn inherits a coveted, high-profile assignment that could clinch his career: one involving a terrorist train bombing. But as Finn learns more about the circumstances surrounding Natalieโs death, the fabric of the life he has created begins to tear. Suddenly he finds himself the prime suspect in her murder.
Finn needs to save himself, and the only way is to dig into the secrets of Natalieโs life. The case leads Finn and Flaherty from the crime-ridden streets of Charlestown to Bostonโs courtrooms and morgues, and from the gilded enclaves of the power brokers to the darkest recesses of a serial killerโs mind.
