Walking in the footsteps of Philip Marlowe, Spenser and Elvis Cole is Harry Webster - and he wishes he had bigger feet... Corinne Winfield is sexy and rich and she's lost her boyfriend - literally. He's Bryce Mansell, a bitter ex-soldier with emotional wounds that go far deeper than the insurgent bullet that ended his army career. Nobody has seen Mansell for weeks and private investigator Harry Webster's best guess is that he's simply grown tired of his menial job and his beautiful but mean-spirited girlfriend. As the detective digs deeper into the missing man's life, however, he discovers disturbing links to an extremist group called The Crusaders. They're short on numbers but long on hate and not too happy that Webster is asking questions about their former member. The more he asks, the less happy they become and the escalating violence that trails in Bryce Mansell's wake leads to an unimaginable conspiracy, forcing Webster to confront both his own inner demons and a real-life monster who is protecting a monstrous truth. By the author of A Pale Horse Passing By and What The Ashes Bring Forth.
