When Dr. Alan Gregory's good friend is found bloody and dying on the stage of a Colorado theater, suspicion soars that he has become the second victim of a killer whose first prey was discovered amid the scenery of the road company's production of a Broadway show. Alan is immediately asked to respond to two pleas for help: one from the police, who would like a psychological profile of the murderer, and one from Peter's widow, who is desperate to know the meaning of her dead husband's secrets.

Dr. Gregory is starting to feel settled, hopeful that a long period of upheaval in his private life is behind him. He refocuses his energy on his clinical psychology practice, where a beguiling new patient captivates him, but the interlude of calm doesn’t last. Devastating fires are threatening Boulder.

He is compelled to reconsider what he has long believed about trust and about love while he is trying to cope with overwhelming loss and grief.
