Lindsay thought he was, and she's still reeling from his betrayal as a wave of

across San Francisco. Now the bomber she and Joe captured is about to go on

investigation. Not knowing whom to trust, and struggling to accept the truth
about the man she thought she knew, Lindsay must connect the dots of a deadly
