AN IMPOSSIBLE MURDER, PERPETRATED BY AN IMPOSSIBLE KILLER

When officers answer a 911 call at a high-rise office building, it's immediately clear that a crime has occurred. Gallons of blood soak the walls and carpet of a posh corner office... and yet there's no body. What's more, the security system makes abundantly clear that no one came or went from the room after the apparent victim's arrival earlier that day. With the smell of brimstone lingering on the air, and gouges clawed in the floor and furniture, it almost seems possible that a creature out of myth was responsible for the horrific event.

But the detective on the case doesn't believe in myths. He believes in facts, and he will not rest until all the facts fit together, forming a cohesive picture of this tragedy. And yet, with the added distraction of the challenges he continues to face personally, this case may ultimately get the better of him.

Meet Gray Gaynes: a brilliant investigator, but also a man deeply wounded by his own personal tragedy... A man willing to go to great lengths to hide the truth of the irrevocable changes he is undergoing.
