But he has a troubled past. When Clete picks up his car from the local car wash ... to find it ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade, it feels personal: his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose, and his fists curl when he thinks of the dealers who sold it. As Clete traces the connections in this far-reaching criminal enterprise, Clara Bow, a woman with a dark past, hires Clete to investigate her scheming, slippery ex-husband, and a string of brutal deaths all link back to a heavily tattooed man who lurks around every corner"-- Provided by publisher. 20240522.
