Five years after his controversial resolution to the Michael Chadwick case in Miles To Go Before I Sleep, now retired detective Pat Donegal is back on the trail of a rogue's gallery of kidnappers, murderers, and every assortment of thugs and criminals. Teaming with police department detective Shea Sommers and sheriff's department deputy Hennie Duggan, Donegal battles his way through five fast-paced, hard-edged, closely related crime stories. No subject is off limits for author Jerry McGinley, whose terse style has been compared to Ernest Hemingway and Elmore Leonard.
