Summary: Now he has been hired to wrap things up after the suicide of heiress Jacqueline Shaw. He soon finds, however, that she did not commit suicide at all, but was murdered. Thrown into a web of deceit and danger by his discovery, Carl races against time to untangle the truth, a mission that will carry him from Philadelphia to the jungles of Belize and back again. The solution to the murder, Carl realizes, lies in unravelling the true story of Shaw's wealthy family, a story that grows more and more gothic and grisly as he moves back along to the plot, Victor finds the answer to the murder in a note written decades before it happened.
Add to the mix a crime war that Victor stumbles into, a mysterious new age cult, and a wildly eccentric cast of supporting characters, and you have the recipe for a hugely entertaining, white-knuckle ride of a thriller from one of the most exciting new writers in American fiction.
