The body lying naked and dead in a Seattle dumpster was a shock. But even more shocking was the manner in which he died. The victim, a high school coach, was lynched -- a grim echo from a dark past -- leaving behind a very pregnant wife with a very dangerous secret. And a sixth sense developed over twenty years on the job tells Homicide detective J.P. Beamont that this investigation is going to the lethal extremes -- of passion, lies and hatred. . . of the wrong kind of love and the worst kind of justice.
