What seems like a simple quest to find a few answers will turn into a nightmare of sudden violence and bloody revenge, and a race against time to catch a ruthless and methodical killer. McKnight knows all about evil. Mobsters, drug dealers, hit men--he's seen them all, and they've taken away almost everything he's ever loved. But none of them could have ever prepared him for the darkness he's about to face. A "New York Times" bestseller, Michigan Notable Book, and "Boston Globe" Best Crime Book of the Year, "Misery Bay" marks the return of one of crime fiction's most critically acclaimed series.
