With the help of his irrepressible hero, John Francis Cuddy, Jeremiah Healy never fails to deliver scintillating, perfectly pitched mystery masterpieces in what The New York Times Book Review calls a superior series. Now the Shamus Award-winning author looks ready to join the honors class of private-eye writers that includes Robert B.

But three quick bullets at a deserted roadside knocked Gant out of the Boston skyline for good, and now Cuddys discovered the attorney was also a man of strange desires and deep secrets, secrets that could prove lethal to the touch....Ricocheting from Gants law offices, Cuddy picks up the trail of a woman who fled the scene of the murder.
