A distant relative of Decker's is found murdered in a seedy Manhattan hotel room, and the man's niece has disappeared. Racing across the continent to help the girl's parents, he plunges into New York's underbelly, a world where vile deeds, unregenerate evil, and sinister secrets pit brother against brother. And where Decker will question the very essence of his faith and fight for everything and everyone he holds dear--including his wife, Rina.
