**2014 READERS' FAVORITE AWARD WINNER** For assistant district attorney Ben Lovison life couldn't be any sweeter. He has a job that he loves and a beautiful wife set to deliver their twin boys at any moment. For a man whose life got off to a rocky start following the brutal slaying of his mother in broad daylight in front of his childhood home, it was a testament to his perseverance surviving to and achieving success in adulthood. But when a young teen is fatally beaten in an abandoned schoolyard, Lovison is assigned a case that will pull the wool from over his world. He soon fears that his story of perseverance and overcoming may have actually been one of deceit and deception. And Mayo Fathers, the man he'd credited with saving him may have been a wolf in sheep's clothing. Devastated by the discovery that Fathers may have been involved in both the murder of his mother and the disappearance of the father he never met, Lovison has to regroup and persevere once again. But this time, other lives hang in the balance.
