The acclaimed author delivers "a tremendous jolt of adrenaline . . . then ratchets the action back up for a breakneck finish" in this gritty crime thriller (The Florida Times-Union).Six years ago, Jackson Donne''s fiancée, Jeanne, died in a car crash—a hit-and-run with a drunk driver. It was an open-and-shut case with few questions asked, mostly because Donne was in no state to ask any.Now the former-PI-turned-college-student has finals coming up and a wedding to plan with the new woman in his life. He''s something he hasn''t been in a long time: happy. But that unfamiliar feeling doesn''t last. Donne receives an email with a link to a video of Jeanne being held captive, alive—for now.Donne''s investigative skills have faded. He has no contacts, no one to turn to—except for the dodgy ex-partner he had when he was a cop, the other man who loved Jeanne. Donne knows that each step into the past is a piece of the future he''s throwing away. But the truth is out there—on the violent New Jersey streets he once knew like the back of his hand . . ."White is one of a group of younger writers reimagining the P.I. novel. . . .
