When Spenser's closest ally, Hawk, is brutally injured and
left for dead while protecting bookie Luther Gillespie,
Spenser embarks on an epic journey to rehabilitate his
friend in body and soul. Hawk, always proud, has never been
dependent on anyone. Now he is forced to make connections:
to accept the medical technology that will ensure his
physical recovery, and to reinforce the tenuous emotional
ties he has to those around him.

Spenser quickly learns that the Ukrainian mob is
responsible for the hit, but finding a way into their
tightly knit circle is not nearly so simple. Their total
control of the town of Marshport, from the bodegas to the
police force to the mayor's office, isn't just a sign of
rampant corruption-it's a form of arrogance that only
serves to ignite Hawk's desire to get even. As the body
count rises, Spenser is forced to employ some questionable
techniques and even more questionable hired guns while
redefining his friendship with Hawk in the name of
vengeance.
