Description

Carl Duggan has worked as a Detective in the city for a long time. The kind of long where you've seen everything, and seen it twice. With that in mind, it comes as no surprise to him when a pregnant nineteen-year-old girl washes up on the banks of the Styx. But something about this one is different, and before Carl gets any answers, two more bodies join the pile - a corrupt Judge and a big-shot lawyer. Carl's gut tells him there's a connection. There are the little things, the tiny details that others would ignore. The bodies keep on coming, then a second case rears its head: three young men with nothing in common except their sexuality, each murdered in their own home. Gaining little assistance from his fellow officers, Carl goes it alone into the darker regions of the City. Along the way, he makes acquaintances and enemies of the City's more colorful residents, including the beautiful sister of the first dead girl, a Catholic hit-man dubbed 'His Holiness', and a shady casino owner named Dice. The closer he gets to the truth, the more Carl's life is put in danger, forcing him to move further and further away from the rule of law. Never once does he suspect that the two cases are so intimately linked, or that the truth could be so close to home.
