Synopsis: From the author of the innovative thriller The Quick comes the second story featuring Jimmy Miles. He is a man who doesn’t sleep. Perfect for a private investigator. The night belongs to him and to a restless few with secrets of their own—like Lucy, the mysterious woman he’s trailing.
Her connection to Jimmy lies with a strange group called the Sailors. Jimmy knows all about them. They’re part of what keeps him up at night. So are a sudden rash of murders, the memories of an obsessive never-forgotten affair—and the lies about Lucy and his own past, which are far less frightening than the truth.
“Dan Vining has reinvented the hard-boiled detective genre and given it a supernatural twist.”—Jeff Long, author of The Wall
