Ashton Cadiston is a young, enthusiastic, and very determined trainee detective, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, his great-grandfather, and his great-great-grandfather. As he nears the completion of his training, he embarks on his very first investigation into the death of a noble family member under the watchful eye of his training sergeant. What was meant to be a simple case, quickly becomes a complex twist of lies, jealousy, greed, and murder in a century's desire for revenge. It is up to the inexperienced Cadiston to persevere. He can leave no stone unturned; he cannot allow himself to be silenced and must trust his instincts in his search for the truth to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
