Description
Cecil Younger, a criminal defense investigator with a penchant for rough characters, is asked to track down evidence to clear his returning client Sherrie of a domestic violence charge. He soon finds himself in a precarious situation when the "evidence" turns out to be a large sum of money, leading him to discover a murder and kidnapping. As Cecil's daughter Blossom is taken as collateral for his cooperation, he turns to an unlikely source for help: the misfit gang of clients he's helped to defend over the years. Together, they devise a plan to free Blossom and restore order to their community. However, when justice lies in the hands of a group of criminals, things don't always go according to plan. A Shamus Award-winning novel, this book is a gripping mystery that explores the complexities of human nature and the consequences of one's actions.
