Mike Romeo thought he'd left the violence of the streets behind...

Now working as an investigator for his friend, lawyer Ira Rosen, Mike finds himself drawn into the dark underbelly of Los Angeles once again. Ira's newest client, Coby Keaton, is a homeless young man accused of a brutal murder.

As Mike digs deeper, his investigation leads him to Reverend Tatum Walker, a man trying to bring hope to the the city's homeless. But a shadow of darkness looms large over L.A.'s streets. Soon, Mike uncovers a deadly plot aimed at Walker-and himself.

With time running out, Mike must face down a network of evil more insidious than he ever imagined-forcing him to confront not only a murderer but also his own demons.

Another un-put-downable thriller by "a master of the cliffhanger, creating scene after scene of mounting suspense and revelation . . . Heart-whamming." (Publishers Weekly)
