If Miles and Vivian are going to get her sister back, they’ll have to abandon everything they’ve worked for. There will be no room for law or conscience where they’re going. Miles is returning to the mean streets that made him. And there will be no coming back. Join Miles once again for more hard-boiled urban fantasy action in The Man Who Lost Everything.
