His phone rang at midnight. "When are you going to take care of my problem?" a voice rasped.

In a luxurious penthouse suite high above the city, a girl is forced and brutalized, held captive by her own fear.Below, in the darkest corners of the city, the women of the streets are being murdered in the cruelest way possible.And in a warehouse on the Atlantic coast, a stockpile of high-tech weapons grows larger as each day passes. Destination unknown.Adam Cain and the Gypsy try to unravel the connection between an illegal arms deal, a broken young woman from the heartland, and a lecherous politician with a penchant for violence.One man is behind it all, and he may be someone from the Gypsy's past.A poignant, heart-pounding thriller by the author of "The Slater Mysteries""There are a lot of characters to keep track of in this book, which is why I broke with my tradition and named each chapter. Bringing all these people together was a challenge, but I think that each person and relationship adds something to the story. This started as a straight-up thriller, but I seem incapable of not infusing some romance and humor into everything I write. Because life is never just one thing and neither is my fiction. I hope you enjoy it." T.J. Jones***With edits*** less
