Not Even Past

Finally, Jackson Donne has it figured out. After leaving the private investigation business, he's looking toward the future - and getting married to Kate Ellison. Donne is focused on living the good life - planning the wedding, a big Hawaiian honeymoon - until he receives an anonymous email with a link and an old picture of him on the police force. Once Donne clicks the link, nothing else in his life matters. Donne sees a live-stream of the one thing he never expected. Six years ago, his fiance, Jeanne Baker died in a car accident with a drunk driver. Or so Donne thought. He's taken to a video of Jeanne bound to a chair, bruised and screaming, but very much alive.

Donne starts to investigate, but quickly finds he's lost most of his contacts over the years. The police hold a grudge going back to the days when he turned in his corrupt colleagues, and neither they nor the FBI are willing to believe a dead girl's been kidnapped. Donne turns to former NARCO department partner Bill Martin - the only man to love Jeanne as much as he did - for help. And that decision could cost him everything.
