Para él, bastaba con demostrar a los otros su error: la policía del estado, su propia gente, que se había reído a sus espaldas por creer que un chico negro era capaz de un crimen tan sofisticado.En esta séptima entrega de la serie policiaca protagonizada por Charlie Parker, el ex policía –que vive atormentado desde el asesinato de su primera mujer y su hija– ha perdido su licencia de investigador privado y el permiso de armas, y se gana la vida trabajando de camarero en un bar.

Old atrocities are about to be unearthed, and old sinners will kill to hide their sins. Now Parker is about to risk his life to defend a woman he barely knows, one who fears him almost as much as she fears those who are coming for her. His enemies believe him to be vulnerable. Fearful.
