Summary
Gideon Rimes knows life—specifically his—hinges on luck. Having survived war in Iraq and street violence as a PI, he strives to be the best man possible for those who matter most: the retired English professor who raised him, his medical examiner foster sister, his friends in and out of law enforcement in the Nickel City, but most of all his lover, attorney Phoenix Trinidad. Still, he’s crossed paths with enough monsters—from organized criminals and homegrown terrorists to corrupt politicians, thoughtless speakers, and the Spider, a psychopathic hit man—to know something grotesque hides in the shadows of human interaction. As his godfather Bobby Chance might say, monsters are cautionary, intended to make us recognize our own humanity in the surrounding darkness.
Collected here are intersecting tales not just about Rimes but about friends, antagonists, and passersby who move through his world. Included are his first case as a PI, two pieces written by Bobby Chance, the backstory of a trial that shaped a friendship, the whereabouts of the Spider after his departure from Buffalo, and a novelette (inspired by two historic murder cases) that puts Rimes in the presence of someone truly demonic.
