Overview
After surviving a deadly prison break, ex-Detroit cop Kurt Argento is ready for some quiet. Still working through his grief over the passing of his wife, Argento offers to house-sit for a friend with his loyal companion, Hudons, a chow-shepard mix. It's a simple life, picking up odd jobs here and there, but it's one that Argento is content to live.
When Kristin Reed shows up with her young son, Ethan, and begs Argento to help find her missing husband, Argenot turns her down. He's not an investigator anymore--he's a handyman. But he's not a man to ignore his gut feeling when something is wrong. After he discovers that Kristin and her son have gone missing as well, Argento starts to notice that Fenton, Arizona, is more than meets the eye.
First there's the large, overly equipped public safety team. Then there's the financial boosting of failing small businesses by the U.S. goverment. And finally, there's one man who seems to have control over this town.
Argento works to unearth not just the truth behind the disappearance of a family, but a conspiracy that's taken a whole town to cover up. The small town of Fenton is going to push him further than he's ever had to go. And along the way, he may just lose a part of himself as well.
Becanse justice isn't as black and white as Argento would like to believe.
