About this Item

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Strand An Indie Next Selection Henry Parker left his old life behind years ago-a broken home and shattered lives are little more than a bad memory. Since then he has forged a great career, saved lives, revealed monsters in our midst, and fallen in love with a wonderful woman. But all that comes crashing down when Henry learns that his old life isn't through with him yet. Not by a long shot . . . When a man named Stephen Gaines is found dead, shot point-blank in a rat-hole apartment, wasted by hunger and heroin, Henry sadly assumed he was the victim of another drug deal gone bad. But when the man is identified as Stephen Gaines, Henry learns they not only share a city . . . but a father. Now Henry must investigate the most personal story of his career-that of the brother he never knew, and the tragic and violent end to his life. Because for some reason Stephen had tried to enlist Henry's help. And as Henry begins to dig into Stephen's past, and his own, what he finds is more chilling than anything he's ever faced before. Because Stephen knew that something terrible was coming to the city. He died before he could stop it. And now it's Henry's turn . . .

About this title

Synopsis

Am I my brother's keeper?

If I'd known I had a brother, I might have been. But he's dead—shot point-blank in a rat-hole apartment, wasted by hunger and heroin. Stephen Gaines, a man with whom I shared nothing…except a father. For some reason this stranger who shared my blood came to me for help, and I blew him off thinking he was just some junkie. Now I'm forced to question everything I ever knew…and figure out why this man was murdered in cold blood.

All I can do for Stephen Gaines now is find his killer—and with the help of Amanda Davies uncover the whole, hard truth. If it means tracking down a vicious drug kingpin—who may or may not exist—then so be it….
