The third novel by John Verdon about retired detective Dave Gurney. The daughter of an old acquaintance, young Kim Corrason, conducts interviews with relatives of the victims of a serial killer known as the Good Shepherd. Ten years ago, he murdered the owners of expensive black “Mercedes” cars and called it punishment for greed. The TV project “Wake the Devil,” the police, and the FBI are all chasing a false lead—and Dave Gurney must, alone, search for and catch the clever criminal, doubting himself and risking everything that matters to him.
