A Case That's More Than It Seems

As Hammer digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of crime and corruption that reaches the highest levels of power.

Unforgettable Characters

And Captain Pat Chambers, the police captain who is both Hammer's ally and adversary, adds an extra layer of tension to the story.

Stunning Prose
