Produktbeschreibung

A paroled killer and a small-town cop find themselves on a collision course when the murder-by-arson of a college student sparks off gang violence along the forty-ninth parallel. His first day out of prison, paroled killer Cameron Shaw meets with a mysterious lawyer who offers him a small fortune to infiltrate the League of Nations crime syndicate. Shaw turns her down, intending to go straight. But with no job, no family and no prospects, he's soon compelled to take her offer. In the small Pacific Northwest town of White Rock, a body is pulled from a burning house. Staff Sgt. Meghan Quick identifies the victim as grad student Alexa Reed. Alexa's behavior during her last few days strikes Quick as bizarre. Why did she remove the for-sale sign from her parents' house, and why was she trying to meet with the League of Nations? As Quick tries to solve Alexa's homicide, Shaw moves deeper into the League's cross-border drug trade. With the threat of a gang war looming, and long-buried secrets coming to light, Quick must find Alexa's killer, while rescuing Shaw from the brutal gang violence that threatens the future of White Rock.
