Standt pursues the killer, with a segue to Europe and Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, along with his brave young crew of colleagues, including Church, a hacker, Katie, a Slate reporter, and iz, a goth poet with a taste for nightclub dancing and MMA moves.
Standt also teams up with Vlad, a Russian emigre with a taste for Stoli Elit and a current job with the Detective Bureau.
Compulsion is the third book in the Karl Standt series, after Barbarous Coasts and the equatorial noir novel, Gone On Kauai.
