Synopsis

FINALIST for 2020 Independent Audiobook Award - MysteryNever try to catch a falling knife.Ex-NYPD detective Evan Adair has finally figured out what’s good for him: to step back and allow death its dominion. The truth, after all, doesn't bring the dead back. It’s a lesson Adair has had to learn the hard way.But when a brilliant young man dies by violence – the victim of an apparently impossible crime – the case calls out to Adair like a siren’s song. He can’t stay away, not even when it threatens to drag him down into the chasm of his own grief.The mystery draws Adair deep inside the worlds of high finance and high-stakes biotech, lands full of strange fauna and complicated lies. The weapons of choice look like numbers and dollar signs – but the blood they draw runs red. Red as the blood that haunts Evan Adair’s dreams.

A math genius who works in the stock market dies mysteriously. So if you aren't familiar with the terms, you may spend a lo......more
