A hit and run. Simple as that. And suddenly harmless old Gerry Figuroa is lying dead on the asphalt. New Jersey cop turned private investigator Jackson Donne sure as hell doesnt want to investigate his drinking buddys death, but hes made a promise that leaves him no choice.
And before long, hes drawing uncomfortably close to a murderer.
Meanwhile, an apparently routine divorce case takes a dangerous turn, and sinister connections to Gerrys death start to emerge. Just when it seems things cant get any worse, Donne learns that a bitter old enemy is mixed up in the whole mess. Bill Martin, his ex-Narcotics Department partner, has secrets to expose that could reopen the still-aching wounds of Donnes past. Permanently.
Donne would like nothing better than to crawl back into a bottle and forget he ever heard Gerry Figuroas name, but its too late for that. Now hes in way too deep, tangled up in a plot whose tendrils reach far into his towns past—and his own.
