Former Coast Guard sleuth Bradley Benoit puts up with his deskbound job as an Integrity Insurance investigator only to save his marriage. When Dr. Ben Roberts is stabbed to death in plain sight in Central Park, Bradley finds himself investigating the decidedly off-chance of suicide. If the slain cardiologist really did hire a deranged National Guard vet to kill him (or if Bradley can make that theory look plausible) he'll salvage a sinking career. With his estranged RN wife as a sharply skeptical sounding board, Bradley does his best to push the suicide angle by penetrating the strange history and stubborn secrecy of the victim's long-ago med-school study group. Members have been dying off for a couple of years and Bradley suspects a connection between Dr. Roberts' demise, two previous "natural" deaths, and a mysterious, shared horror still haunting the survivors. Somehow, Bradley must satisfy his bosses, deal with amorous widows, rescue his marriage, and hang on to his weakening conscience--by leveraging a monstrous, decades-old truth that won't let go.
