    About this ebook

    Jason Williams is a troubled soul. Maria entered his life three months ago and transformed him, but now she's gone. Miserable and brooding, things take a turn for the worse when Detective Natalie Abrams shows up at his door with a question - where's Maria? As Abrams probes deeper and the questions multiply, one thing is clear - things aren't always what they seem.
