“The man who has succeeded Elmore Leonard and George V. Higgins as the master of the underworld thriller.” ―Chicago Sun-Times

It's a cry that Agnes Lynn, a hooker gone straight and Rachel's long- time friend, can't ignore. Steely and resourceful, with a determination impervious to fear, Agnes aims to settle scores with pimps and porn kings―and unwittingly, blindly, sets herself in the path of the formidable mob boss Viktor Timkin.
