The place-a small, entirely corrupt Midwestern burg named Locke City, currently owned top to bottom by homegrown Royal Beaumont. Crippled by a childhood disease, Royal rules from a wheelchair-throne; few, though, have ever doubted that his power is absolute. Or not until now, when rival mobs-one Irish, one Italian-suddenly sense windows of opportunity. They lurk at Locke City's perimeter and sniff around Royal's honey-pots-prostitution, gambling, protection-in a way calculated to cause maximum anxiety. In response, Royal sends for outside help in the form of Walker Dett, a man with the sort of "stillness" to him. Dett is a killer, a hired gun with the war smarts of a Clausewitz. There's plot and counterplot as hard guys maneuver for position and form unlikely alliances. Dett, however, is always in charge, a dodge ahead of his enemies. He schemes, lures and, when at last he pounces, few are left standing. But Dett has a softer side and it catches him unaware. One night, the Angel of Death meets an Earth Angel and, to his astonishment, he falls in love. Life altering for Dett; for thereader unexpectedly moving. A bit of a slow coach in the middle, but it recovers well.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Vachss Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Vachss Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Vachss Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction VACHSS Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Vachss Checked In Add Copy to MyList
