About this ebook
“Cements Dave White’s place as one of the rising stars of crime fiction. A gripping read from an author who has infused the PI novel with fresh blood.” —Jason Pinter, bestselling author of Hide Away
Life looks bleak for Jackson Donne, who had his PI license stripped during the course of his last case. Now, he’s working nighttime security at a storage facility in New Jersey, a job that gives him plenty of time to think about what went wrong.
But life can change in one phone call—especially if it’s about Donne’s estranged family. His sister, Susan, delivers the news that their mother is in hospice suffering from dementia and keeps rambling about their grandfather murdering someone. Susan wants Donne to investigate. Within twenty-four hours, his aunt and uncle turn up dead, and his brother-in-law’s Manhattan restaurant has been blown up. Now it’s up to Donne to right the wrongs of his family—or die trying . . .
“White’s stunning second crime novel to feature ex-cop and ex-PI Jackson Donne fulfills the promise of his debut, When One Man Dies.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Intricate plotting and nonstop action make this a nail-biting read from start to finish. White, winner of the Derringer Award for When One Man Dies, is a writer to watch.” —Library Journal
“Readers looking for top-notch hard-boiled noir fiction featuring an intriguing protagonist and complex characterizations need look no further than Dave White’s deftly plotted novels.” —BookLoons
