From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series For Tres Navarre, English professor turned private investigator, business has lately taken a drastic turn south. But if chasing down bail jumpers, adulterous spouses, and workmen'€™s comp cases seemed like the dregs of the PI game, it was at least a living. Not as much could be said for tracking down a man like Will '€œthe Ghost'€ Stirman. The stone-cold killer has just staged a bloody escape from the Floresville State Penitentiary with a gang of violent cons as spooked by Stirman as those on the outside who helped put him behind bars. And no one seems more worried than Navarre'€™s boss and mentor, Erainya Manos. It was her husband along with rival PI Sam Barrera who built the case that sent Stirman away. But Erainya'€™s husband is dead and she'€™s certain Stirman won'€™t let that stand in the way of his taking revenge against her and her adopted son. All of Navarre'€™s instincts are screaming that there'€™s more to this case than meets the eye. But Erainya won'€™t tell him'€”and Sam Barrera seems to be escaping into a strange twilight from a truth too terrible to remember. That leaves Tres to dig into a twisted mystery of greed, vigilantism, and murder, where lives are bought and sold and the line between guilt and innocence is razor-thin. Meanwhile, Stirman and his gang are coming, leaving behind them a trail of brutal, unforgiving violence that will end in an area of San Antonio known as Southtown'€”but that may soon just as well be called hell on earth.
