Packard, fresh off losing the race for sheriff and demoted from detective to court security, is at a career low when he gets put on administrative leave for use of force. Unable to face the emotional baggage he’s been building up over the years, he pours himself into the cold case of his missing brother. When that leads him to a separate suspected murder, he’s more than willing to pull threads and follow leads if it means he can keep burying his trauma.
Plus, as in any good mystery, Moehling includes little side dramas: simmering tensions from when Packard ran for sheriff, a coworker whose questionable health is a quiet but constant stream of worry, a lawyer involved in the Larsen estate who Packard thought of as an ally but might be withholding information.
