AFTER SURVIVING A FOILED KIDNAPPING AND ATTEMPTED MURDER IN COLORADO, ALEX JONES FINDS HIS LIFE ONCE AGAIN THROWN INTO CHAOS.

DARK ENDING, the sequel to An Unsettled Past, fast-forwards seven years to find Alex now working as a homicide detective with the NYPD.

The investigation gets more personal after several more victims appear, each having cryptic messages from the killer.

Alex can't shake the lingering feeling that somehow his troubling past, the one he thought he buried at the secluded cabin in Colorado has somehow resurrected itself and followed him to New York.

In the end, it's a race against the clock to find the killer and piece together the clues before he strikes again. But will Alex succeed or will this be the concluding chapter in his tumultuous life?
