With his wife Julia's life hanging in the balance and his own sanity slipping, Caleb races against the clock to uncover the truth. But when the assassin's motives are revealed, and Caleb's own ambitions surface, the real danger may come from inside the family. By sunrise, the empire will fall — one bullet at a time.
