Beneath the Music Box

In Havenport, Xavier Shane has always been untouchable, shielded by his lawyer wife Zoey Gold, his fighter childhood friend Sarah Penn, and his brilliant younger sister Lydia Shane. On his twenty-ninth birthday that fragile security explodes: Lydia is brutally assaulted in a dark alley and dies. In court the betrayal cuts deeper—Zoey defends the killer and Sarah coerces Xavier into signing a settlement. Abandoned by the two women he trusted most, he clings to his grandmother’s last gift, a music box with a mysterious number. When he finally makes that call, the pampered prince begins to change. The grief hardens into resolve, and Xavier starts to become something far more dangerous.
