About This Book
Master of suspense Christopher Hyde takes us to Dallas in November of 1963, where Homicide Detective Ray Duval is about to collide with history. His girlfriend's mother used to talk about the wisdom of the bones: "When you're close to dying, you can see the truth." Now, with six months left to live, Duval is putting that wisdom to the test.
He's trying to save one last life before he loses his own to a terminal heart condition. But the President's assassination has sent shockwaves of panic throughout the city. The killer has kidnapped another girl. And unless Duval can break the pattern, she'll be dead in forty-eight hours.
"Hyde's storytelling is pure genius."—New York Daily News
"[Hyde] draws tension with the skill of a surgeon."—New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly
