In a matter of hours, those poisonous politics invade Hazardās life in a way he couldnāt have imagined. Glenn Somerset, Somersās father, shows up on their doorstep, and he wants two things: first, for Hazard to neutralize a blackmail threat; and second, for Somers temporarily to move out of the house he shares with Hazard, part of public relations stunt to win the election. To Hazardās shock, Somers agrees.
Determined to lose himself in his work, Hazard takes on a missing personās case, but his investigation only leads him deeper into the tangled web of small-town politics. To find the truth, he must face off with the viciously rich who rule Wahredua ā and with the poor, desperate, and marginalized, who fight just as viciously in their own way.
When Hazardās investigation uncovers a murder, he is forced to work with Somers to bring the killer to justice, despite their fractured relationship. But the sudden news that Hazardās father is failing fast threatens to put an untimely end to the case ā and, in doing so, jeopardize Somersās last-ditch effort to repair his relationship with his own father.
The killer, though, has an accelerating timeline, and in a world of wayward children, every relationship is fraught with hidden dangers.
