Whipsaw is missing. LaCosta refuses to call the cops. DelaTek stands to lose millions.

Why should Matt Donahue care? He's retired -- forced out -- no longer in charge of security for anyone but himself. LaCosta can go screw himself. He's already screwing Matt's wife.

But the bad guys insist on Matt. He's supposed to make the ransom drop. Three million dollars, or the biggest computer game this side of Tetris gets released online -- for free. Now Matt's in the middle, and everyone suspects his motives. Turns out the last honest guy in the city can't get by without busting a few heads.

"Like Elmore Leonard, the writer whose work his most resembles, Brewer writes with a light and deft touch, bringing style and wit to the crime genre." -- Chicago Sun-Times
