Summary

Half-gypsy detective Eoin Miller finds people for a living -- usually people who would do anything to remain hidden. Ironic considering Eoin has done all he can to lose himself in a downward spiral that has cost him his job, his respect, his wife, and anything else that ever mattered. But he#146;s not inclined to dwell on what he#146;s given up, and Eoin prefers it that way.Then he meets Mary, a hard-drinking woman on the run who confides that she#146;s stolen a valuable item, one that certain people would kill to get back. The two of them seek a temporary -- and incomplete -- solace in each other#146;s arms, only for Mary to turn up as a corpse in Eoin#146;s bed the next morning, him asleep on the sofa.Recalling his father#146;s aversion to authority, Eoin runs from the body, but he hates a mystery and is driven to discover the truth behind Mary#146;s murder, even if it means putting his own life on the line. Before long, Eoin#146;s tangled up in a ferocious turf war that has him playing his former allies and employers -- crime lords, drug dealers, cops, and politicians--against each other.
