Summary
Jane Crocker, Private Eye receives a visitor one hot August day with a simple proposal - deliver a sealed message to a former associate without asking too many questions. It's quick. It's easy money. It'll keep Jane off the streets for another month at least.
What starts as a delivery spirals into a complex tale of crime, violence, betrayal, and revenge that will take Jane on a blood-chilling tour of New York City's Alternian Criminal Underground, uncovering a web of corruption that spans from the lowest dregs of the city to the wealthiest elites of New York high society. With few friends, no backup, and no idea who she can trust, Jane must sort out who's working for who and who wants who killed before she ends up on the business end of the wrong person's gun.
