Spero Lucas has a new line of work. Since he returned home after serving in Iraq, he has been doing special investigations for a defence attorney. He s good at it, and he has carved out a niche: recovering stolen property, no questions asked. His cut is 40%.

A high-profile crime boss who has heard of Lucas s speciality hires him to find out who has been stealing from his operation. It s the biggest job Lucas has ever been offered, and he quickly gets a sense of what s going on. But before he can close in he tangles with a world of men whose amorality and violence leave him reeling. Is any cut worth your family, your lover, your life?
