About the book
Nils Shapiro embarks on an international quest to avenge his wife’s murder in this gripping, emotionally charged thriller from New York Times bestselling and Emmy Award-winning author Matt Goldman.
Sammy Sykes is on the run from the law—and justice.
Nils is determined to track down Sammy Sykes, the drug lord responsible for the attack that resulted in his wife’s death two years ago. Despite the best efforts of local authorities and the FBI, Sammy remains at large.
Now, Nils is ready to take matters into his own hands.
A visit to Sammy's incarcerated daughter provides him with a lead that he can’t ignore. Returning to his role as a private investigator, Nils goes deep undercover. Fueled by a desire for revenge and a strong sense of justice, Nils’ pursuit of Sammy takes him from Minnesota to Europe, where his survival skills—and determination—are put to the ultimate test . . .
A gripping detective novel crafted in Matt Goldman’s distinctive, edgy style. The eagerly awaited comeback of the beloved private detective Nils Shapiro is a must-read for fans of Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, and Harlan Coben.
