Bea Collins was desperate. Her fiance Dean had disappeared, but she was sure he wouldn't just walk out on her. When no one will believe her, she hires Hannibal Jones - the troubleshooter - to learn the truth. Even he is skeptical until he finds the missing man, dazed, confused and accused of a co-worker's bloody murder. Suddenly Hannibal has a new mission: prove Dean's innocence. All the evidence points to Dean, and he can't seem to remember what happened. Is he following in the footsteps of his mother, who was convicted of murdering her husband? Or is Dean covering for his mother, now out of prison and considered a possible serial killer? To find the truth Hannibal must travel to Germany, to Las Vegas, and through Dean's past where he stumbles on evidence linking him to yet another murder. These deaths have destroyed the lives connected to them, and it soon becomes clear that Hannibal will have to solve all three cases in order to save Dean from the death penalty and prevent further bloodshed.
