The station ebbs and flows with people going where ever people go. Riker notices she looks extremely upset and stops to check to see if she is OK.

Max is his long time friend and detective and they start to work the case to find the men who were hired to kidnap the women and kill Jeremy. Riker is suddenly in the middle of a mystery and this is where the story gets fun. Jeremy suddenly finds himself in the middle of a mystery that goes back to his high school days. Each time he uncovers one piece to the puzzle a link ends up dead only presenting him with more questions. Rico Lamoureux tells a great story and fills us in on Riker’s history giving the reader a few clues along the way. Rico Lamoureux does a great job making Riker a well-developed character with emotion, personal struggles and a drive to catch the person responsible. The man behind all of the torture of Riker was a complete surprise, I was shocked and caught of guard when I realized who was after him. The psychotic nature of the killer and reason for the killing spree was cleaver. Riker is the type of character I would enjoy reading again and again.
