Jack has been on hiatus since the events in
Harbingers. With his lover Gia’s encouragement he
dips a toe back into the fix-it pool. Christy Pickering’s
eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a
man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and
sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to
look into his past. But the PI isn’t returning her calls.
Will Jack find out why?
Jack learns there’s a very good reason for the unreturned
calls: The PI is dead, a victim of a bizarre water-torture
murder. As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem’s past he
learns that the man is not who he says he is. Who—and
what—he is will have a devastating effect on Jack’s
life and future, adding another piece to the puzzle of who
he really is and why he’s been drafted into this cosmic
shadow war.
