Description

In the third book of this beautifully written and sadly wise series, Chicago police sergeant Abe Lieberman is stunned early one morning to hear some of the worst news possible: his brother’s son, David, has been murdered in a robbery the night before and David’s pregnant wife, Carol, has been seriously wounded. And so begins Lieberman’s day. The aging policeman learns much about himself in the ensuing twenty-four hours as he resolves to catch those responsible. He learns, too, about dealing with the devil in his all-too-human forms, about personal retribution, and about what his family is made of. Though ongoing cases intrude on the grim pursuit, Lieberman and his recovering alcoholic partner, Hanrahan, relentlessly follow a trail of clues, calling in all markers to flush out the killers. When success is finally within reach, the horrible conclusion will leave Lieberman, and the reader, in shock.
