Karl Warren wanted to be left alone in his new home to drink and wallow in self-appointed misery. Instead, faced with the near death of a friend and, worse, the risk of a romantic entanglement, he becomes enmeshed in a world of sex traffickers and a serial killer preying on the most vulnerable members of his new community. Despite his best instincts, Warren dives deep into a dark world to root out the evil that lives and operates in the shadows. Book 2 in the Karl Warren series.
