But now Samuelson has taken matters into his own hands. It looks like hes torched Stones Mercedes, killed his boss, and then shot himself, all in the space of an hour.The police think they know how to put together this ugly puzzle. But as Kozmarski discovers, nothings ever simple. Eric Stone wants to hire Kozmarski to clear Samuelson. Samuelsons dead boss, known as the Virginity Nun, has a saintly reputation but a redhot past. And a gang led by an aging 1960s radical shows up in Kozmarskis office with a backpack full of payoff money, warning him to turn a blind eye to murder. At the same time, Kozmarski is working things out with his exwife, Corrine, his new partner, Lucinda Juarez, and his livein nephew, Jason. If the bad guys dont do Kozmarski in, his family might.
