Billy Graves and his former colleagues on a special anti-crime unit have 'Whites;' that is, they each have a horrible criminal who got away and whose freedom eats away at them. But suddenly the Whites are turning up dead, and Billy needs to figure out why. Meanwhile a secret from his wife Carmen's past threatens Billy's family.
If you like 'em hard-boiled this is the book for you. Extremely dark and violent, this is a well-constructed and paced thriller. Price/Brandt clearly knows his milieu, and he writes excellent dialogue. I just can't enjoy stories quite so dark as this; it's so noir it's almost purple.
