Setting: Colorado At an early age, David Epstein determined to become a Psychiatrist. His start in life found him wanting to help others. As fate would have it, David was the one who would eventually need psychiatric help. David was an only child. A stern, ex-military father and a loving mother raised him. Mr. Epstein’s words that he lived by were drummed into David’s head. “Do unto others before they do unto you. Take no prisoners and have no mercy.” David shortened his father’s words to fit his own life. His motto became, “Have No Mercy.” When David was in college, his world was turned upside-down. From that moment on one betrayal after another led him to a breaking point. Abandoned by his parents, deceived by his closest and only childhood friend, and scorned by his wife, David sets out on a journey to even the score. When his wife is found dead, Detectives Joe Warner and Eddy Konklin enter the picture. Was Ann Epstein murdered, and if so, by whom? As the detectives dig deeper and deeper into their investigation of Ann’s death, they discover plots of revenge gone wrong.
