Mystery Private Eye
They meet in a no–name diner. A shadowy man hands Burke a
CD dossier of someone he wants found. Minutes later, as
Burke watches from an alley, his client is gunned down by
a professional hunter–killer team. Burke slips away,
unsure if he’s been spotted. Later, when he examines the
dossier, he discovers that the missing woman is Beryl
Preston, a girl he’d rescued from a brutal pimp twenty
years earlier—when she was only thirteen—and returned to
her father. Now he has to find her again—not only because
she might be in danger, but also because he has to prove
to himself that his rescue mission hadn’t been financed by
a predator who wanted his “property” returned. His search
will force him to confront a new kind of human ugliness
and, finally, to practice the survivalist triage that has
marked—and cursed—his life since childhood. In Mask
Market, Burke the outlaw investigator finds himself
searching for the truth: not only about a girl named
Beryl, but also about himself.
