For his next hardboiled outing, P.I. Frank Johnson takes up the homicide case of Cedric Barker, the bouncer at Aphrodite’s Crib, a local strip club. Engaged to the ex-stripper, Blaze O’Dwyer, Barker is found murdered at their outdoor wedding minutes before they exchange their marriage vows.

Of course nothing is as it appears on the surface in Frank’s murky noirish crime world.
Simple things become complicated and messy affairs, where more violence and mayhem come into play. As Frank probes deeper into Barker’s murder, he relies on his long-time friend and business partner, Gerald Peyton, his medical examiner wife, Dreema, and his brilliant but outspoken attorney, Robert Gatlin.

The harrowing climactic scene unfolds inside a dark and seedy strip club where more lethal violence erupts.

Critically acclaimed crime novelist James Crumley wrote of the P.I. Frank Johnson Mystery Series, “With a plot as complex as your grandmother's crocheted doilies, Mr. Lynskey creates a portrait of the rural hill country that rings as true as the clank of a Copenhagen can on a PBR can, as does his handle on guns, love, and betrayal. This novel is well worth the read and makes me want more in the series.”

#1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins writes, “Ed Lynskey’s P.I. Frank Johnson’s books are as hard-bitten and hard-boiled as they come. The dialogue crackles with such sharpness that you'd swear sparks were jumping off the pages. And P.I. Frank Johnson is a character cut from the Tarantino tough, wounded, conflicted, and bad-ass.”
