DECKLEN BANE is an up-start private investigator who washes down painkillers with whiskey sours and offices out of a gourmet grilled-cheese food truck in Downtown Dallas.

Haunted by a cold-case murder that he may have been responsible for-one that has torn his life apart over the last nine years-he has vowed to hunt down the mysterious figure who was identified as a possible suspect. But just as his life's plan hasn't gone the way he expected, his pursuit of him is derailed when Jared Timmons, a wealthy architect, hires Decklen to find the man who his wife has been cheating with. His investigation leads him into a seedy, adulterous world of THE RED SCARF SOCIETY, a members-only website for the rich and beautiful. But this isn't just a "catch 'em in the act" surveillance case.

As Decklen digs deeper and the body count rises, he learns that everyone, including his client, is lying to him. Lies that reveal anyone can kill anyone at any time-even Decklen.
