Matt Stromsoe has come a long way since his wife and son were killed in an explosion that was meant for him. Wounded severely in both body and spirit, Matt gave up the last thing that had any meaning - his job on the police force - and proceeded to hit rock bottom, hard. That was a lifetime ago. It took time and a lot of hard work, but Stromsoe's gotten his act together again, learning to see life anew through the one eye he's got left. Now things are going to take another turn for Stromsoe, and his new life is about to collide with his past. When he's hired by an old cop friend to work in his private security firm, Stromsoe's first case is to protect local television personality Frankie Hatfield from a stalker. As Stromsoe discovers, it's Frankie's private pursuits and not her fame that have made her a target. But the more he uncovers, the closer Stromsoe gets to a killer's bull's-eye and events conspire against him. For Stromsoe's old nemesis proves that prison is no safeguard against the worst kind of revenge.
