When Detective Colt Jessup's daughter Maddie witnesses her best friend killed by a stray bullet, Colt is hellbent on bringing those responsible to justice.
Problems incur when the wrong person confesses to pulling the trigger in a cover-up to protect the actual shooter. His confession and the testimony of others who support his claim fall apart when a young boy finds the courage to tell the truth.
Going on a hunch and despite being told to stand down, Colt recruits the help of the ATF to trace and match the bullet to another crime. An unsolved murder from four years prior. The results lead Colt to two potential suspects. Did they commit the murder together or is one innocent of the crime? Faced with the dire choice of saving another officer's life, Colt is forced to make a split-second decision that will change the intended outcome. A River of Tears is Book Five in the Colt Jessup series but can be read as a standalone.
