    Summary

    Luka Couffaine lives a quiet life; He manages the pub his father nearly ran into the ground, plays a few songs with his band now and then, and keeps tabs on his sister. There’s nothing simpler and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

    That is- Until a young woman bursts into the pub half an hour past close, soaked and covered in bruises. The only motel in town is fully booked, the roads out are blocked and she has little more than the clothes on her back.

    Never one to let anyone go without, and sure that the woman needs his help, Luka invites her to stay. But when the Chief of Police informs them of a murder that took place on the same trail and at the same time the woman claims to have hiked into town, Luka is sure he’s made a terrible mistake.

    The truth, however, is far worse.
