Zack Nelson, a former homicide detective in New Orleans, is always on the clock.

When suspicious deaths occur at a retirement center, Zack and his colleague Mario DeLuca are called in to investigate. After finding another body, Zack suspects foul play rather than natural causes.

As they delve deeper into the case, they realize that someone at the retirement center can't be trusted. All signs point to Dr. Walter Ross, who seems more concerned with filling rooms and collecting payments for his family company than solving murders. But when a mysterious man offers them crucial information, Zack and Mario make some progress in the case—until another murder occurs, this time possibly connected to a larger scheme. With their attention pulled in multiple directions, the detectives must untangle a web of secrets, lies, and unexpected connections to solve these crimes.

Set against the backdrop of Southern charm and hospitality, this fast-paced thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
