"Weissbourd has created an entire genre-- Seattle Noir... I devoured the novel in a single night

and I think you will, too."

- Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor, Hill Street Blues

Celebrated restaurateur Callie James is stunned when her estranged ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, strolls into her restaurant on what could have been any Seattle evening. After fourteen years, the story he tells is even more unlikely than his sudden appearance. As she throws him out into the darkness, her nightmare begins. Daniel is targeted and hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant--broken, bloody and unconscious...

Reluctantly, Callie hides him. Returning to her restaurant, she is greeted by two assassins insisting that she produce Daniel or pay deadly consequences. Overwhelmed, and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan, her former bartender, a man she turned in for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, and a man who still hasn't forgiven her.

After a vicious attack on her restaurant, Callie's world is thrown into chaos... She and Cash face international money launderers, weapons dealers, professional hit men and jeopardy at every turn. With danger in plain sight, Callie must not only save herself and her world, but also must reckon with who she is and who she must become to survive.
