When a well-known Seattle judge is found assassinated in his sleep, detectives Kaitlyn Kruse and her partner Joe Riley find themselves entangled in an investigation of the judge's past cases. But who is the killer? A murderer who stabbed his victim thirty times and sent the judge death threats? A company owned by tech moguls whose tempers are set to ignite? An apple grower from Wenatchee Valley who will stop at nothing to keep his business afloat? The case leads them through the city's homeless encampments, forces them to evade lethal security measures, and pushes them to defuse an armed standoff. As the pressure rises, Kaitlyn turns to her ability to access memories from past lives, using them to unravel the threads of deceit—all while heeding a mysterious warning that some of her dreams may be leading her down the wrong path. Now, they must race against the clock and identify the killer before more victims fall.
“A compelling blend of romance, mystery, and reincarnation, Anderson’s third novel in the trilogy weaves together the past and present with striking emotional depth. There is the evolving relationship between Blake and Kaitlyn—one shaped by fate, fractured by circumstance, and rekindled through moments both tender and uncanny. Alongside this, a gripping central mystery drives the plot: the murder of a principled judge, a man of unwavering integrity. As Kaitlyn’s past dream lives unfold, the narrative deepens into something richer and more layered, ultimately setting off a chain of revelations. Just when the truth feels within reach, the final twist lands with real impact, reshaping everything that came before it. The reader will be left contemplating this unexpected ending long after the final page.” — Andrea Beck, author of Below the Surface
