No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Charlie Beckham is a rising star among federal prosecutors until, on the morning of the most important court day of his career, a deranged homeless man turns Charlieβs life upside down with a single word. He calls Charlie by a secret nickname known by only one other person in the worldβCharlieβs brother Jake, who went missing thirteen years ago. Could the homeless man have information about Jakeβs whereabouts after all these years? Is it possible that the long-haired, bearded vagrant actually is Jake? Charlie has a hundred questions but the homeless man disappears before Charlie can ask a single one.
So begins Charlieβs search for answers, and for his brother, a search that leads him down Boston's darkest streets, into its blackest alleys, and, finally, into its criminal underworld. But if Charlie wants answers he'll have to get them from some of the most feared and ruthless people in the city.
