Description
On Catalina Island, Detective Sergeant Stilwell expects to guard a secluded community from the troubles of the mainland—not confront a drug operation that erupts into violence at a remote mountain airstrip. Placed under scrutiny after the failed sting, he launches a covert investigation that connects a newly recovered backpack, a long-missing hiker, and an unsettling trail leading back to Los Angeles. As Stilwell joins forces with LAPD detective Renée Ballard, the two pursue a calculating adversary who thrives on misdirection and official blind spots. Set against Catalina’s rugged isolation, this tense crime thriller explores loyalty, institutional pressure, and the risks of pursuing justice when the case reaches far beyond familiar boundaries.
