Should a wicked man get the same justice as the righteous?
When a violent pimp is murdered, Major Crimes Detective Dallas Nash is assigned the case. With no witnesses and weak evidence, he must make a choice—vigorously investigate the killing or go through the motions before casually sweeping it into an unsolved file.
Plenty of people want Nash to stop—the prostitutes abused by the deceased, a do-gooder with a shadowy past, and a cop with his thumb on the scales of equity. Yet no one is pushing for him to continue the investigation.
Will Nash walk through the city’s underbelly to find justice for a man who preyed on others?
