ANY detective would love to be able to tell a murderer just by looking at him, but any such gift of the gods is usually a double-edged sword liable to turn in your hand.
This is the case for San Diego sleuth Robbie Brownlaw who turns into a human lie detector after a freak accident.
More good fortune seemingly comes his way when a dossier of the sordid secrets of the rich and powerful falls into his hands.
But death lies behind the smiling face of fate as his investigations and talents provoke a killing response from those he threatens.
A crime thriller that takes you off the sidewalk of normal life and into an alley that reeks of vice, greed and violence and where every step could be your last.
