Boston Native Dermot Sparhawk is at it again. Dragged into yet another set of circumstances that he wants nothing to do with, Sparhawk is forced to call on all his connections and physical skills to keep from getting killed. It seems that an assassin is waiting around every corner and Sparhawk doesn't know why. To save his own life, he works the streets of Boston, asking questions, leveraging friendships, and persuading reluctant witnesses to tell him what he needs to know. He visits waterfront gin mills and basement AA halls in search of the truth. And the truth takes him from his native Charlestown, Massachusetts, to his ancestral Belfast, Northern Ireland, where he faces an inevitable showdown with the man attempting to kill him.

This is the third book in the Dermot Sparhawk Series.
