Detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina, are profoundly shaken by this terrible accident that has occurred frighteningly close to their daughter`s school. And an irate call from the unaccounted-for flight attendant`s stepfather further tangles an already twisted mystery. The man insists twenty-eight-year-old Roseanne Dresden was never on the doomed flight, but was probably murdered by her abusive, unfaithful husband - a revelation that propels Decker down a path of tragic history and deadly lies toward an unimaginable evil that will challenge his and Rina`s cherished beliefs about guilt and innocence and justice.
