Publisher's Synopsis
When the body of Federal Attorney Gregory Youssef is found, every law-enforcement officer in Baltimore is determined to catch his killer. But four months on with no suspect, the department is under massive pressure to deliver. After Tess mentions the case in front of the black homeless teenager that her boyfriend is housing, he disappears. Tracking him down, Tess convinces Lloyd to share what he knows - then goes to the press with the condition that Lloyd's name isn't used. Despite police pressure, Tess refuses to reveal her source, but when a black teenager is shot, it quickly emerges that Lloyd was the intended target. Lloyd has nowhere to run...and he certainly can't go to the police.
