Eddie Slaski has left Boston for Florida’s Space Coast. Newly sober and working as a private investigator, he hopes a new town, a new career, and a new love will give him a fresh start.

But a violent nightmare keeps returning. Its trail leads to a killing in Dobrovny in 1953, while a present-day investigation threatens the life he is trying to rebuild.
