Cade Taylor returns from Michael Hearns’ debut novel Trust No One. It is six months later and life isn’t any easier for undercover vice narcotics detective Cade Taylor. A failed marriage, faltering relationships and the constant danger of being undercover in Miami has him feeling spiritless and alone. Assigned to a DEA task force, he is tasked with supporting another federal agency and finds himself on the verge of burning out.

But it’s the betrayals Cade can’t see that pose the greatest threats.

He is a man seemingly without direction. Cade slowly becomes reconstructed as he helps a novice homicide detective challenged by a series of connected murders. Cade’s lonely wanderings of Miami’s grittier streets and neon lit hotspots suddenly has investigative purpose as he risks all he has left in him to uncover the truth-a labyrinth of misdirection, false promise, and sinister individuals that thrive in the darkened shadows cast by Miami’s towering buildings and tall palm trees. He can see what is before him but it is all so elusive, just like grasping smoke. He must weave amongst the cloaked agendas of those around him hidden in the dark-but can he navigate what lies beyond his own darkness?
