But not like this. He’s also, apparently, a double-murderer, having whacked both of his parents with a machete. Only, he can't remember why!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome say Eliot is a bad seed. Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg doesn't buy that. But the case weights heavily on him, for he knew the Gardeners and he should have seen something coming. And now, poisoning the joy of his and Cassandra Mitchell's wedding plans, a piece of his own past—the survivor of another shattered family—is stalking him. Someone else he's failed. Someone who wants revenge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd until he can lay to rest the madness of that past, Alberg cannot hope to enter the silent mind of Eliot, where a time bomb is ticking away.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49542904938800,"sku":"BDj6ng","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/689303-j6ng-Square.jpg?v=1739887034","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-j6ng","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
