商品簡介
A lawyer calls Dek Elstrom with a fast, seven-hundred-dollar proposition. A dead client had named Dek to execute her will. No matter that Dek didn't know the woman. No matter, too, that the woman's estate was only worth a few hundred. "Happens all the time," the lawyer said.
To Dek Elstrom, broke and huddling in a cold stone turret in the middle of February, the sound of seven hundred bucks falling down his chimney is louder than his voice of reason. He agrees and heads up to a hamlet ten miles north of nowhere. Instead of finding an easy-to-close estate, though, he finds blood and the markers of a shattered life - and something worse: links to the darkest part of his own past. He races to chase down leads to the killer and his own ghost ... before the dead woman is killed again.
