Starting with a daring art heist and a walloping surprise for disgraced quarterback–turned–private eye Andy Hayes, this riveting mystery novel—eighth in the Shamus Award-nominated series—takes readers on a roller coaster ride through COVID and the anti-vaxxer movement, the streets of Columbus, Ohio, and an FBI investigation that points too close to home.
Mercury Carter, a federal agent turned freelance courier, just wants to make his delivery to a lawyer in her suburban Indianapolis home and be on his way. Once there, however, he encounters a gang of killers and the lawyer and her husband in mortal danger. Soon, Carter is playing a violent game of cat-and-mouse across the Midwest as he seeks to save the couple and unravel a deadly mystery.
