The plea for help wormed its way to the heart of the city: the kind of plea an old cellmate couldn’t ignore. Virgil, from the wilds of Indiana, is shielding his teenage nephew from a murder rap drummed by by arrest-happy cops.  A lover’s lane sniper was terrorising the town and Virgil’s nephew was the number one suspect. Burke was on his own – until help arrived in the slim and watchful form of Blossom. She’s connected to the killer by the blood on the street – and screaming for justice.  Burke’s kind of justice.
