<p> </p>
<p>After the city of Ironton is brought to its knees by a devastating explosion, Detective Frank Nagler must put aside his recovery and return to serve the city in its time of need. Broken by the trauma of witnessing the murder of his friends, Nagler struggles to keep his mind sharp as he searches for clues.

Daigle does it again. Don’t miss this fifth book in the Frank Nagler Mysteries -- it’s the best one yet. The story will keep you turning the pages long into the night.</p>
