Synopsis
Winner of the Shamus, Barry, and Anthony awards
Nominated for the Edgar, Macavity, and Gumshoe awards
“The biggest mysteries in our genre are why Reed Coleman isn’t already huge, and why Moe Prager isn’t already an icon. Both are to me. Read this book and you’ll find you agree.”—Lee Child
The third Moe Prager crime novel.
Still reeling from his wife’s recent miscarriage, Moe Prager is bullied into taking the case of an up-and-coming politico whose career has stalled over the suspicious disappearance of a young woman. It’s been almost two years since Moira Heaton, State Senator Steven Brightman’s intern, vanished on Thanksgiving Eve 1981. In spite of Brightman’s best efforts to clear his name, he has been tried and convicted in the press.
As a reluctant Moe peels away the layers of the case, he discovers the tragic circumstances of Moira Heaton’s disappearance are buried deep in the past and that there is another more heinous crime at the heart of it all.
Will the ugly truth set Brightman free or will it bury all the players beneath the crumbling artifice of corruption, murder, and hate?
This new edition features:
- New foreword by Michael Connelly
- New afterword by Reed Farrel Coleman
- Two Moe Prager short stories—“Requiem for Jack” and “Requiem for Moe”
- An excerpt from Tower, by Ken Bruen and Reed Farrel Coleman (Busted Flush Press, September 2009)
