Product Description
Thirteen years ago, Frank Pavlicek left the NYPD under less than ideal circumstances. Now, the divorced father of a teenage daughter, he works as a private investigator in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he indulges his passion for falconry and tries to live outside the shadow of his past.
Frank is hunting with his red-tailed hawk, Armistead, when he finds it. A teenage boys body barely concealed behind a pile of brush in a part of the forest Frank recently visited with his daughter, Nicole. Its a truly gruesome crime scene one of the many things Frank doesnt miss about working homicide in the big city.
But what Frank finds in the dead boys wallet is even more disturbing: Nicoles phone number, scribbled in ink on the edge of a bill. He pockets the evidence and flees. Days later, his daughter is in jail. His past is coming back to haunt him. And his reputation and life are on the line
