When an influential politician and businessman is murdered, St. Louis police detective Joe Keough takes on a high-powered case that drags a lot of local dirt into the daylight. Dodging a trumped-up sexual harassment charge, Keough races to track down a professional assassin who has more targets on his to-do list--and to find the evil mastermind behind the bloodletting. "Doesn't waste a phrase or a plot turn." Publishers Weekly. "Another winner. A multilayered, craftily plotted journey into the dark side of politics." Booklist
