The trail of blood that ensues brings them dangerously closer to Weiss' old nemesis, an expert gun-for-hire known only as Shadowman and to a plan set to climax with an act of audacious violence and a murder that would be impossible for any killer but one....

"Klavan's riveting blend of mystery, wiseass, attitude and old-fashioned moralizing makes for a wild ride"
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Many authors try to be overly dramatic, but not Klavan. His pace is perfect, and his reading smooth. Klavan particularly excels with his portrayals of investigator Jim Bishop, who not only finds himself in the middle of the action, but also appears to fall for Kathleen Wannamaker, whose husband becomes 'expendable' when Bishop enters the scene."
