Metropolitan newspaper writer Zack Walker has a knack for stumbling onto deadly stories. But it?s one that his good friend Trixie Snelling doesn?t want told that?s about to unleash a storm of trouble. As a professional dominatrix in the suburbs, Trixie has her share of secrets, but Zack has no idea what she?s really hiding when a local newspaperman threatens to do an exposé on her?not until Zack finds a dead body strapped to the bondage cross in her basement dungeon.

Now Zack is implicated in a murder, Trixie is missing, and everything he thought he knew about his friend, his town, even his own marriage, reveals a darker side. Zack?s twisted trail to the truth will lead to a long-unsolved triple homicide, bikers, drug wars, and a stone-cold killer hell-bent on revenge. It?s a story that?s already cost him his job and possibly his wife, and, if Zack?s not very lucky, it will cost him his life.
