However when he finds this cryptic message supposedly from Connor, he gets drawn right back into the search for this killer, who may not have been some random drifter after all.

Now no one (neighbors, friends, or even the sexy stranger with his own connection to this case) is beyond suspicion. Sensing that somebody is following every move he makes, Mac struggles to come to terms with his real feelings toward Connor as he scrambles to reveal the truth.
