When Frank Behr's friend and mentor is murdered during a suspicious break-in, Behr thirsts for answers and revenge. But before he can pick up the killer's scent, an exclusive private investigation firm approaches him with a case: two of its operatives have gone missing. Prodded to take the case by his old boss - the Indianapolis police captain who holds the strings to returning him to the force - Behr accepts.

The search for the missing detectives takes Behr into the dark recesses of Indianapolis' underbelly, a place rife with shocking brutality and vice. And when Behr uncovers a thread connecting the detectives to his friend's brutal murder, he is forced to confront an ominous, deadly new breed of organized crime.

Introduced in City of the Sun, Frank Behr instantly garnered critical attention and a high level of anticipation among thriller aficionados and fans of authors like Michael Connelly and Robert Crais.
