Rhode Island, 1981.

Ted Hollis is forty-two years old, and the brewery where he spent his entire adult life just closed its doors for good.

He's got a son he raised alone who's heading to college in a month, a rat terrier who won't stop barking, and a refrigerator with one egg in the carton. He's also got a letter from the financial aid office...

US Marshal Charlie Harlow has stood in front of hundreds of doors without knowing who, or what, is behind them…

When a botched assignment leaves a friend from the sheriff’s office dead, Charlie finds himself under the Justice Department’s scrutiny for the way things fell apart.

Overwhelmed with guilt for failing to save his friend, Charlie knows...

The case isn't Charlie Harlow's. Until he decides it has to be.

U.S. Marshal Charlie Harlow doesn't sit back when someone's in trouble. So when a teenage girl he once tried to help disappears, he refuses to stand aside. Especially when the local authorities treat the case like it doesn't matter.

Then a body turns up. One that matches her...
