A rich and beautiful start-up guru is found dead, her head cruelly bludgeoned by a computer hard drive at her office in central Boston. Newly promoted Detective Matt Johansen is on the trail of a vicious killer. But who in the website development company would want Sybil Tanner removed - and why? Matt struggles to find answers against a backdrop of greed, power, wealth, love and betrayal.

Meanwhile, Matt's father, recently released from being falsely imprisoned, is mowed down in the street by a speeding vehicle. Was it accidental? If not, who is responsible?

Along with the FBI, Matt is also trying to discover the truth behind Satan's Crew, a biker contingent known for their links to organized crime. Are they now in league with Boston council workers and Albanian terrorists - and committed to taking over the lucrative drug trade in Boston?

And who exactly is Mister Big - and how far will he go to protect his investments?

The work is cut out for Matt Johansen, maverick cop and accidental good guy.

But Matt has his own demons.

Can he remain in control of his life for long enough to be a father to his young son and a lover to Jude, his long suffering partner?

Will his ill-fated relationship with the murder victim's adolescent daughter undermine his job, his integrity, even his sanity?

This fast-paced crime story - from a master of suspense - twists and turns through the underworld of internet websites, wealth, urban corruption, drugs, murder, mayhem and modern law enforcement.
