Nothing else can hurt this calloused retired Chicago homicide detective (or so he thinks), not after he lost his beautiful young Beth to bullets meant for him nearly 30 years ago. But when Jack's cell phone vibrates at 5:30 a.m. on Christmas morning, little could he predict the challenges that lurked.
Kate, Jack's daughter (herself a homicide detective), enlists his help on a murder case she is working in New York. The intrigue compounds when he learns her case is intricately entwined with a plot to assassinate a sitting President, and that a former First Lady is one of the conspirators.
But the situation only gets worse with Jack's involvement, as it leads a group of foreign agents to kidnap Kate in order to coerce Jack's bidding. He must then balance his focus between rescuing his daughter, and preventing the assassination.
If that is not complicated enough, the conspirators had contracted Jack for the hit.
The story unfolds on the streets of New York City, with visits to Upstate New York, DC and Chicago.
This is the latest book by Mike Carrier. Up until March, 2012, Mike has run a private security firm he founded over 30 year ago.
