For Duluth detective Jonathan Stride, the past is never truly buried, especially the haunting memory of his first wife. In Brian Freeman's Goodbye to the Dead, this chilling truth resurfaces with brutal force when a new murder whispers of an undeniable, terrifying link to her final year alive. Suddenly, Stride’s world is upended; every conviction he held about that tragic past, even a closed case that led to an imprisonment, is thrown into violent question. Working alongside his partner, Serena Dial, Stride’s search for answers about the present crime pulls them deep into the murky depths of a decades-old conspiracy—a hidden darkness of human trafficking festering beneath their city's surface. As Stride battles the resurgent demons of his history, the current threat escalates, forcing him to protect those he loves from an enemy whose roots are entangled with his deepest, most painful regrets.
