Book description
Investigator and former Marine Wayne Weston is found at home, killed by
a single gunshot wound to the head, the gun still lying in his right
hand. There is no sign of his wife and six-year-old daughter.
The police believe Wayne Weston killed his family before turning the gun
on himself. Weston's father is convinced his son was murdered. He turns
to Lincoln Perry, former cop, now private investigator, for help.
All the evidence supports the police's conclusions, but as soon as he
starts asking questions, Lincoln hears rumours of gambling, extortion,
and links to Cleveland's Russian mob. When the FBI asks him to back off,
followed by a second murder, Lincoln is more determined than ever to
uncover the truth, even if that means putting himself in danger . . .
'A terrific, first-class debut full of suspense, tension, tricks and
charm.' Michael Koryta's novels have won the LA Times
Book Prize and the Great Lakes Book Award and been nominated for the
Edgar, Shamus, Quill and Barry awards. A former private investigator and
newspaper reporter, he published his first novel at the age of
twenty-one. His work has been translated into nineteen languages.
