Gabriel is forced to work against the clock to stop a formidable foe who has no respect for the law or human life. Private Detective Gabriel Bedford embarks on an investigation to learn more about the deaths of Detective Katherine Wright and her lover from twenty years ago with the help of an amateur assistant, scant evidence, and an outdated walkie-talkie. At midnight, how does the inactive walkie-talkie suddenly seem to come to life? When the investigator is at his wit's end, who is the alleged comrade working in the shadows to assist him? In addition, who is the unidentified foe who appears to be aware of his every move and constantly one step ahead?
