Publisher's Summary

From domestic war to barroom brawls, grad-student-turned-PI Neal Carey’s got more than studying on his plate.

Neal’s three-year confinement in a Chinese monastery is finally over—but his troubles are just beginning. The elusive financial benefactors who have bought his freedom expect a return on their investment. They want him to find Cody McCall, a two-year-old boy recently abducted by his father in a bitter Hollywood custody battle—a task that will propel Neal from the glittering Hollywood hills to the remote wilds of Nevada.

To find Cody, Neal has to turn outlaw in a land of two-bit casinos and roadside cathouses to infiltrate a vicious white supremacist group spouting hatred and dealing in terror. But the deeper undercover he goes, the deadlier the game becomes. Now Neal must force a showdown with the group’s crazed leader and find Cody before the missing toddler ends up lost in a world of unspeakable evil.

This’s the weakest novel written by Don Winslow.

I love D. Winslow’s books. Therefore I expected much more. The story is predictable and characters as well. You still feel a mastery of Mr. Winslow writing, however, it is not enough to be pleasurable experience as with other author’s books. The narrator is excellent

Not credit worthy

This narrator is one of my top 3. Sadly the book is a shallow blend of the usual, blood,guns,racism overly wise cracked dialogue, but it is fast paced read....and free from audible.
