Will Magowan, the "vulnerable and deeply damaged" (Booklist) ex-narcotics detective introduced to readers in the critically acclaimed Slow Fire, has decided to retire from law enforcement and start a new life. Things are looking up: he's moved back in with his wife and landed the new job he's always dreamed of. Then a figure from out of the past appears and makes a mysterious demand. Erik Crandall is someone that Will sent to prison years before, when he was an LAPD Detective. Will tries to brush Crandall off, but the situation escalates into violence. As Crandall threatens to destroy the new life that he's built, Will turns to the authorities, but they are of little help. He begins to realize that the only way out is by confronting tragic events from his past - a past he'd do anything to forget. Will must risk everything as he uncovers long-buried secrets and discovers that almost nothing in his life is what it seems.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover.
