by Philip C. Baker
First-time hit woman Silk Rhenko makes a rookie mistake and, as a result, the bodies start piling up in the city. To help solve the sudden murder spree, Detective Basil Keene recruits two fellow detectives and the unlikely Eileen Mack, an underage bartender at Sully’s Tap. As Keene gets closer to the truth, the novice hatchet woman becomes more desperate and grows more dangerous. Will Keene catch up with Silk and her demented employer, Fyodor Umarov? Or will the Russian criminals escape under the veil of a violent storm at sea? Keene and his colleagues battle against time, weather, and evil in this crime thriller set in Maine.
