On the banks of the scenic Truxton River, nestled in rolling woodlands just minutes away from our nation's capital, lies Gryphon Gate. Drawn to its breathtaking view of the Chesapeake Bay, Henry Drysdale selected this waterfront location to create a premier gated community wher the affluent and privlgeed could live, work and play. However, tempers flare and tension grows when Vanessa, Henry's ex, decides to build a 300 unit condo development on and adjoining tract of land. The Gryphon Gate town meeting disintegrates into a free for all as environmentalists, developer, residents and the media clast.
Then the violence truns ugly - a body is discovered lying facedown in a sandtrap off the sixth hole. Called in to head the investigation, Police Captain Diane Robards is thwarted at every turn as she discovers that behind the elaborate landscaping and elegant doorways in the privacy of bedrooms, yachts' cabings, clubrooms and saunas, lie closely guarrded secrets. With the boyd count rising, Diane races against the clock to sort her allies from her enemies as she attempts to strip away the veneer and peak beneatht he facades to unmask a dangerous and ruthless killer.
