Hank Anderson is stuck in the aftermath of the tragic life of Kenny Jensen when Seth Oberstreet is dropped at the door of Anderson & Greenberg Counseling, hundreds of miles from home. In moments, the speed and trajectory of Hank's recovery is up for grabs. As Seth's story unfolds, Hank's mission to protect the vulnerable collides with his compulsion to solve complex human puzzles. Disoriented, on the edge of collapse, Seth has come under the influence of The Scholars of Calm - a secretive spiritual movement led by self-proclaimed guru, Taranis Tyr. Why did this sect step out of the shadows now? And why choose Hank? Hank needs backup. That's before Seth disappears. Hank's friend and ally, Detective Phil Evans, answers the call, setting in motion a desperate search that places them all in the sights of those who value death over truth, while forcing Phil to confront his own long-buried trauma. "Therapist extraordinaire and amateur sleuth Hank Anderson - the male answer to Agatha Christie's Miss Marple - returns for another thrilling tale of misadventure - his insatiable curiosity, big-heart, and psychological savvy taking him down yet another dark rabbit hole." Mary Schanuel, co-author of In the Writing from a Spacious Mind
