Safety is a gift that should never be taken for granted... Clarendon Hills, Illinois is a peaceful and affluent town filled with wealthy citizens who pay top dollar for their privacy and safety - until a family is brutally murdered in their own home and forcing the once tranquil town into a state of upheaval. A mother and her son are dead, the suspects are lost to the wind, and a police force that's grown accustomed to dealing with parking tickets and moving violations knows it needs an edge in order to solve the case, and that edge has a name that many have come to know well - Detective Edgar Vincent. Vincent, once again working alongside his loyal and tactful partner, Detective Lindsay Brandt, work together to solve the crime and finger the person(s) responsible. However, the case is not quite what it seems - par for the course for Detective Vincent - as he and Brandt dig deeper and deeper and stumble across a scheme involving dirty money, a suspect with a sinister motive, and a web of lies that has been crafted to conceal the truth. With a backdrop stretching from Clarendon Hills, to Miami, and finally to the infamous town of Hollow Green, Vincent and Brandt must put their heads together to unravel the mystery behind the murders, working feverishly against the clock and travelling further down a road that will find them both standing on a perilous patch of HOLLOW GROUND.
