When a disgruntled ex-employee opens fire in a trendy Los Angeles restaurant, thirteen people are killed and thirty-two wounded. Homicide Detective Peter Decker is haunted by the heinous act, especially when evidence suggests more than one weapon was fired despite eyewitnesses seeing only a lone gunman. This disturbing inconsistency propels Decker into a labyrinthine world of Southern California money and power, threatening his reputation and career.
