His first story is about Clare Kemplay, a young girl recently found brutally murdered. While the police department and other crime reporters at the newspaper believe it's an isolated incident, Eddie finds a pattern between Clare's disappearance and those of other girls from a few years earlier.

What he finds is a nightmare of corruption, violence, blackmail, and obsession that ultimately leads to a shocking, explosive conclusion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A bundle of spastic nerves and jumpy tempos, hard to hold in your hand but harder to put down." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>"David Peace is the future of crime fiction. . . .
