Klappentext

Set in the heart of downtown Nashville, Tennessee, amid bustling streets filled with tourists seeking the glimmer of country stardom, hidden beyond the neon lights and echoing sounds of the "Honky Tonk Highway," a forgotten homeless population becomes increasingly vulnerable. While the city may be known as the "Bachelorette Capital of the World," its harsher side emerges as the city grapples with the devastating Fentanyl epidemic that threatens to claim homeless victims at an alarming rate.
Detective Eric Caid and Detective Maria Ortega, seasoned investigators from the Nashville Police Homicide Unit, find themselves in this dichotomy of a city. As they tread through the streets, they must wade through the facade of joyous revelry to uncover the truth lurking in the shadows. A series of overdoses leads Detective Caid to suspect that these incidents might all be related, but his superiors are slow to see the connection. It's not until they discover an influential visitor among the victims that Caid's suspicions begin to gain traction and they realize that the victims they're investigating aren't random casualties but are part of a larger, sinister plan orchestrated by a malevolent killer.
At the climax of this gripping novel, Detective Eric Caid finds himself in a perilous race against time. The truth, which initially appeared straightforward, has become a complex tapestry of deception. Caid's love for the city, and his love for his department is a relentless driving force, compelling him to uncover the real story, no matter the cost. As he confronts the wicked forces that have thrived in the shadows, he realizes that the path to the truth is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. His unwavering commitment to justice and his determination to give voice to those who have suffered fuel his resolve. Caid's quest for the truth in the face of evil takes center stage as the tension builds to its climactic peak.
