A sinister private detective agency, a shady shell corporation, and a dead friend—Rick Cahill is on his most dangerous mission yet

Private investigator Rick Cahill has been running from his past and chasing the truth his whole life. But his past is relentless—and so is his CTE, a disease caused by repeated head traumas that has attacked his body and his mind. As his CTE progresses, he realizes that the disease not only threatens his life but also endangers his family's wellbeing.

As Rick struggles to keep his family together, he does a favor for Sara Bhandari, a business contact. Then, Sara is murdered, and the police believe her to be yet another victim of a serial rapist who has been terrorizing greater San Diego. But Rick has reason to question their theory. Determined to find the truth at any cost, and against his wife's warnings, he investigates on his own.

Along the way, he bumps up against a sinister private investigative agency and a shady shell corporation that may be hiding more than company secrets. As Rick digs for the truth about Sara's death, he risks his own life and the lives of countless innocents caught in his relentless crusade. Ultimately, Rick must decide if his quest is worth the risk of losing his family forever.

Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and John Sandford

      Coyle’s subpar ninth Rick Cahill novel (after 2021’s Last Redemption) finds Cahill struggling to balance the dangers of his San Diego, Calif., PI business with the daily adjustments of a new parent. Further complicating matters, Rick suffers from a debilitating chronic neurological condition he’s kept from his wife, Leah, since his diagnosis sometime before the birth of their 14-month-old daughter. Because of Rick’s erratic behavior, Leah leaves with their child so they will be in a safer environment. Rick is left in their home alone. Trying to focus on work, Rick meets with a business associate, Sara Bhandari, his contact in the human resources department for a defense contractor with whom Rick regularly runs background checks. Sara wants Rick to dig deeper into unusual hiring discrepancies. Rick downplays her instinctual concerns, and is soon filled with regret when Sara is the victim of a murder believed to be committed by a serial rapist. Now motivated, Rick sets out to find the truth behind Sara’s murder, even if it will cost him his family. This melodramatic outing shows some signs of fatigue; established fans may be more forgiving of Coyle’s white knight hero’s shortcomings. Agent: Kimberley Cameron, Kimberley Cameron & Assoc.
