The Themis Group has been hired to follow a trail of blood, bodies, and madness. Logan Pressley is looking for a killer. Not just a killer – The Slayer. He is not looking for a woman. At 45 years old, he has had enough of humanity, and wants no part of the my Maggie Robertson is starting a new life. She is not looking for a hero. She's not even looking for a watered-down version of one. Romance, she has found, is a wasted phenomenon for the young, and the days for being swept off her feet are long past. Then there was that one-night stand. The night Logan and Maggie lost themselves in each other. In that one night, all the carefully laid rules were broken. The men and women of The Themis Group have a singular cause - to bring justice and closure to those who have lost hope. But while they are united in mission, they all have their reasons for being with a private investigation firm that straddles the converging lines of crime scene science, traditional investigation, and mainstream law enforcement. Some do it for the thrill. Some do it for the satisfaction. Some do it because they are compelled. But each member of the team is looking for something they will never find in the work they have chosen.
