A brutal murder has happened in a southern Illinois cornfield. The culprit appears to be the local alcoholic. But, when another murder occurs while the suspect is in custody, Sheriff Mark Graff realizes the town drunk was merely a puppet in the real killer's hands and that the truth is locked somewhere in the drunkard's memory.

Soon, the evidence starts to point toward the local migrant camp and the camp's shady Padre. A vicious cat-and-mouse game begins between the Padre, his ward, and the police. In a chase that leads from southern Illinois to Chicago, madness and murder and religion meld into an unholy trinity that only Frank Powell can end. But can he?

Tanglewood, Wisconsin — a fictional town the southern part of the state.

Ginger Stevens built a business there selling architectural artifacts and salvage pieces for commercial and residential spaces. A few months earlier than when this story begins, she came across a dead body in her shop. A short time later, she put together the puzzle pieces and figured out the identity of the murderer.

Things are back to normal now. Or are they?

Ginger's new client, Sphere Software Technologies, is moving to a new office space and bringing in pieces from the artifacts shop. Sphere's employees include several characters, some of whom don't have the business' best interests at heart — people who "look out for #1" and take down colleagues who get in their way.

Ginger might be in the way, too.

Now, Jamie is being strong-armed into investigating by Dougie's frosty widow, Hilary.

The suspect list is long, including the firm's bookish paralegal, embezzling bookkeeper, ambitious associate, and resentful senior partners. Add to that list a mélange of oddball clients with grudges of their own, and Jamie has her work cut out for her.

With assists from her studly landlord and husband-hungry sister, Jamie uncovers enough dirt on her coworkers to launch a tabloid in her hunt to find the killer … before he or she strikes again!

Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather's magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head.

Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD's top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and the security disks removed, there's nothing left behind but a few traces for forensics to analyze.

As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed — and locked — doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can't go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate … and a new case that no one saw coming.
