Ten years ago, Shelby Knight turned in his badge and put his gun under glass. Since that time there hasn’t been a day he hasn’t replayed the shooting death of Aiden Holloway in his mind.

Only from behind the protection and anonymity of a medieval steel shell can he discover the truth before the killer strikes yet again.

Or is there a hidden, darker half of himself that takes pleasure in bloodshed?About the Author:George Wier lives in Austin, Texas, with his lovely wife, Sallie.
