How far would you go to get justice against the person who stole your deceased childhood friend's identity? If you're Isaiah Funderburke, vengeance will become an obsession. On the cusp of adolescence, Funderburke's best friend Bertie was killed in a convenience store robbery. The crime was never solved. A decade and a half later, Funderburke is a private detective specializing in divorce work-but thanks to a wealthy benefactor, he only works for the children involved, as he helps expose embezzling divorce lawyers, corrupt judges, and other sinister forces that exploit young people. Every once in a while, he solves other serious crimes. With the assistance of his girlfriend and fellow investigator Nerissa Kaiming, a high school history teacher and former teen mother who now runs a program mentoring girls in similar situations, Funderburke dedicates his life to saving kids who can't save themselves. When identity thieves steal Bertie's name for a credit card fraud, Funderburke's enraged, and he decides to track down the criminals behind the "ghosting." Along the way, Funderburke turns up clues connected to Bertie's murder and tries to find out who killed his friend all those years ago...but digging into the past may threaten his future.
