Her husband's missing. She says he's a secret agent. Rafferty's pretty sure he's just a liar.
Patty Akister approaches Rafferty to find her husband-a meek furniture salesman named Sherm-who hasn't been home for three days. Patty swears he's a spy. The cops aren't buying it. Neither does Rafferty. But something about her story doesn't sit right, and against his better judgment, he takes the case anyway.
Sherm isn't that hard to track down. But by the time Rafferty gets there, he's already dead. And suddenly this is no longer the case of a cheating husband-it's about a hapless bagman, a low-rent mob boss with big ambitions, and a turf war set to rip through the underbelly of Dallas.
With the cops clamping down, the streets heating up, and a bunch of innocents caught in the crossfire, Rafferty's walking a fine line between the woman he's trying to protect and the truth she doesn't want to hear.
Because some lies are harmless. Others will get you killed.
Hardboiled, wisecracking, and layered with heart,
