After more than a year on the road he's ready to face the demons he ran away from in New York City. And he's decided what he wants to do with his life: Become a private investigator, for real. Licensed and everything. No more working as a thug for hire. But within moments of stepping off the plane, Ginny Tonic, the drag queen crime lord who once employed him-and then tried to have him killed-asks to see him. One of her newest drag queen soldiers has gone missing, and Ginny suspects she's been ensnared by the burgeoning heroin scene on Staten Island. Ginny wants Ash to find her. Because he's the best, and because he knows Staten Island, his home borough. Ash is hesitant-but Ginny's offer of $10,000 is enough to get him on his feet. And the thought of a lost kid and a bereft family is too much for him to bear. He accepts, and quickly learns there's something much bigger at play. Some very dangerous people are vying for control of the heroin trade on Staten Island, which is recording the highest rate of overdose deaths in the city. As Ash navigates deadly terrain, he find his most dangerous adversary might be his own past. Because those demons he ran away from have been waiting for him to come back.
