Description
A dark and suspenseful debut
Detective T.J. Peterson has a problem, and it’s not just how much he’s drinking or the daily, silent, tormenting video calls from his estranged daughter. A Catholic priest has been bludgeoned to death in church, apparently by a symbol of his faith, and an unidentified woman’s body had been found. He’s barely holding it together. When a deranged teenager, a possible witness, crosses his path, he is propelled into a sleazy, violent world of underage prostitution, sexual abuse, and human trafficking as he pursues a merciless killer.
A stylish and riveting exploration of both the consequences of depravity and the sometimes-extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

Detective T.J. Peterson has enough problems in his private life; his estranged daughter, his fondness for alcohol, he really isn’t in the mood for all the crap that’s coming down on the job. A dead priest, beaten to death inside his own church, the body of a woman police can’t identify. It’s enough to drive Peterson to (another) drink. But the worst is still to come, when a mentally unstable teen lures the detective into the dark underbelly of the city and the world of human trafficking.
This isn’t a story for the faint of heart, the subject matter is harsh; but it’s all too true and Peterson is a compelling anti hero
