Every case leaves its mark. This one could cut too close.

When Detective Margie Patenaude is called to another homicide in Calgary’s parks, the details feel chillingly familiar. The crime scene echoes the Fish Creek murder—but as Margie digs deeper, the evidence points somewhere far more personal.

Her instincts tell her this case may be connected to her own life. Could her family be in danger? Or is stress clouding her judgment? With her colleagues watching closely, Margie can’t afford to get this wrong.

Time is running out, and each step closer to the truth puts Margie further up a dangerous climb—one where a single misstep could be deadly.
