“James Queally takes the skills he has acquired as an award-winning journalist and puts them to devastating use as an author.” —S.A. Cosby, bestselling author of King of Ashes Russell Avery needs a story to tell. The reporter turned private investigator is almost out of clients after taking on the Newark Police Department and exposing a scandal that left him on the wrong side of the thin blue line. Desperate for work, Russell is as elated as he is skeptical when a detective shows up on his doorstep, asking him to look into one of Brick City's most haunting mysteries: the Twilight Four killings. The detective tells Russell a story almost too good to be true, but maybe good enough to save his otherwise doomed journalism career. Supposedly, the wrong man was convicted in the brutal arson-murders that claimed four teenagers' lives, and if Russell finds the real culprit, he'll have the inside track on the kind of story that most reporters stake their careers on. As Russell starts untangling the complications of a decades-old murder, he runs into opposition from City Hall and finds himself pulled into a contentious mayoral race that could impact Newark for generations to come, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the real Twilight Four killer, who wouldn't mind reducing Russell to ash.
