A kid from Miami's meanest streets, Theo Knight lost his
mother to a violent crime. He was on Death Row for a murder
he didn't commit when lawyer Jack Swyteck proved him
innocent. Now they are best friends. Theo is a
semi-respectable and successful bar owner, but the past,
with its risks and its terrors, has come knocking on his
back door.
An escaped convict from the old neighborhood wants
sanctuary, and in return he is offering information: the
identity of the killer who left Theo's mom lying dead in the
street on a hot South Florida evening.
Theo wants
justice, but the answers are not simple. He and Jack must
now piece together a twenty-year-old conspiracy of greed and
corruption that's pointing toward the city's most elite and
powerful. And digging through a history that Theo has
struggled his whole life to forget could awaken some very
desperate, very deadly sleeping dogs.
