Don't Trust Him

The person sworn to protect you could be the very one you should fear, in this mind-bending crime thriller from a real-life police detective. When the body of a missing woman is unearthed in a shallow grave, Det. Inspector Harry Powell is tasked with leading the hunt for her killer. But as the investigation unfolds, Harry is forced to confront a chilling connection to an old case from his past one that raises the haunting possibility that a grave mistake may have unleashed a dangerous criminal onto the streets. Amid the rising tension, a new recruit joins the Murder Squad: Det. Constable Dane Hoopman. On the surface, Dane seems like any other officer eager to prove himself, but cracks in his polished exterior suggest there's more to him than meets the eye. As Harry edges nearer to uncovering the truth, he notices Dane growing uncomfortably close to one of the team's most vulnerable members. Are Dane's intentions as innocent as they seem, or is there a darker agenda at play? With time running out, Harry's investigation threatens to reveal a shocking truth one that may strike closer to home than he ever imagined . . .
