After East Hampton, New York, is hit by a terrorist bombing, local cop Justin Westwood discovers that someone is targeting specific people to murder, and disguising these actions with what appear to be "suicide bombings," in this latest work by the bestselling author of "Aphrodite."

Justin Westwood has retreated from reality by taking a menial post with the police department in Long Island. Mindless traffic duty and a lot of booze stop him reliving the past, but his dormant professionalism is reluctantly awakened when he realises that the death of a young journalist is deliberate not accidental. As he retraces the woman's movements in the hours before her death he learns she's been in trouble for quoting some erroneous facts in an obituary of a man who had been living in the local old people's home. Not the sort of mistake which normally brings a duo of professional hitmen to the door of a fallible reporter, and certainly not one which brings the FBI into town. As he attempts to unravel the puzzle he finds someone is a step ahead of him, disposing of witnesses and setting him up for the rap. Realising he has to face real life at its starkest if he is to survive, he goes solo - though if he'd known what was in store he'd have stuck to handing out parking tickets.A thriller of such tension and action that it should come with its own oxygen supply.

As a young boy, Jack Keller experienced a profound tragedy when his mother was murdered. Now, thirty years later, he enjoys a fulfilling life with a loving marriage, a successful restaurant chain, and close friends. However, everything changes during the opening of a new restaurant when a second tragedy strikes, leaving Jack injured and psychologically scarred. He is cared for by Kid Demeter, a young man who once felt like a son to him. As Kid helps Jack recover, he shares stories about various women in his life, each identified by a nickname and portrayed as alluring yet dangerous. The situation escalates when Kid is found dead after a fall from a high building. Jack refuses to believe the police's conclusion of suicide, suspecting that one of Kid's women may be involved in his death. This leads him into a dark world filled with lap dancing, drugs, and violence. As Jack delves deeper into Kid's life, he faces increasing danger from an unseen threat that seems to anticipate his every move. With the stakes rising and the past intertwining with the present, Jack realizes he must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again, putting his own life at risk.
