'Mr Gores writes some of the hardest, smoothest, most lucid prose in the field' New York Times Book Review
Once Eddie Dain had a life: a beautiful wife, a happy young son and a thriving business catching soft-core bad guys by computer. Then he hung onto an odd-looking case and made a mysterious enemy - one whose calling cards were two men with shotguns.
Now Eddie is reborn - as a dead man. Known by the single name of Dain, he pumps his body and his psyche as he follows a trail of sweaty white-collar crime to the steamy Louisiana bayous. Here, in this torrid landscape, is a woman on the run who can lead him to what he wants more than anything: the man who took everything from him ...
