As he trolls the twisted wreckage of Quick's tormented last days, what he finds isn't madness, but the cold-bloodede method behind it. And as he follows a chain of greed, corruption, betrayal, and hate snaking hideously throught the profession he thought he knew, he'll discover territory where even he never dreamed of treading.
