In John Dalton's second installment of urban noir, detective Don Avoca is faced with solving the murder of a young girl in the world of the ruthless criminal underground Kate Connor's body lies undiscovered in industrial wasteland for fifteen months--strange fragments of bone lodged in her throat and a sea bean at her side. Assigned to investigate her murder, Don Avoca joins forces with sad-eyed Jackie, a local PI. Together they track down gun-toting dope heads and hapless misfits, taking their chances in a winter-dark city of subterfuge and violence. Amid the eyes of prying surveillance cameras and swirling highways Don struggles to stay afloat. Can he find escape from the dreams and voices that threaten to drown him? Or will his longing for retribution block out the truth of his own loss?
