Jack Novak knew he had problems. Drinking was the biggest one; a failing detective agency in Atlanta was another. But going out with a woman who claimed she was a modern day witch, but not a devil worshipper, was the latest. And then one of the men from his former Gulf War unit called him from jail and begged Jack to bail him out. Again. That set Jack off on the worst drunk of his life. And it didn't stop there. His former boss, the police captain in Roswell, Georgia, asked him to help find the murderer of one of Jack's best friends. All of these things combined to make it the worst period in Jack's life. It found him in jail accused of murder - a murder he did commit. Then his best friend, Homes Kinney, actually shoots him. And what about the witch? How does she fit into all this? This is the most complicated and compelling murder mystery in Jack Novak's career. If he survives.
