Governor Cochrane holds the power to punish all criminals except his daughter's killer. Then a blackmailer threatens to reveal his ruinous family secret just as a sniper targets innocents in Chicago.

To protect his career and those he governs, he'll have to hunt both enemies.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the second book in the critically-acclaimed series detailing Duncan Cochrane's rise to prominence and the personal cost of his public ambitions.

"Another fast-paced, can't-put-down book by David Hagerty. Like his first book, he keeps you guessing what will happen and then brings you an unexpected 'I didn't see that coming' ending. This book is another winner!" ~ Terez Lyle

"From the beautifully written opening chapter describing the sniping murder of a young boy in Cabrini Green, to the protagonist's moving into Cabrini Green in order to investigate the sniping (which is based on real events), to the ultimate satisfying, but not entirely happy, resolution, the writing rings of reality and truth. It draws the reader emotionally forward, and also conveys a terrific sense of time and place." ~ Theresa O'Loughlin
