Author of House Witness, 2019 Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel
Working behind the scenes in the nation’s capital, Joe DeMarco knows how to repay a debt. But now he’s repaying a debt owed by his boss—Minority Leader John Mahoney. Years ago, a man saved Mahoney’s life in Vietnam. Now, that man’s granddaughter, Sarah, is in dire need of help.
Sarah has been battling against a billionaire oil tycoon with her online blog, trying to prevent him from despoiling any more of her beloved North Dakota landscape. Now she’s being threatened and physically assaulted by the tycoon’s hired muscle—and DeMarco is the only one who can protect her.
But as DeMarco tracks his adversaries in the unfamiliar territory, the situation turns unexpectedly violent, and the fixer finds himself in a battle against a pair of ruthless corporate “problem solvers” who will stop at nothing to take Sarah and DeMarco out for good.
