Summary:
"In this sequel to the highly praised The Gatekeeper,
Dez
Limerick
, one of the best new thriller heroes returns. Desmond Aloysius
Limerick
('
Dez
' to his friends and close personal enemies) is a man with a shadowy past, certain useful hard-won skills, and, if one digs deep enough, a reputation as a good man to have at your back. Now retired from his previous life,
Dez
is just a bloke with a winning smile, a bass guitar, and bullet wounds that paint a road map of past lives. Jaleh Swann, a business journalist hot on the trail of an auditor who was mugged and killed, lands in the hospital just one day after her Portland apartment is ransacked. When Jaleh’s sister, Raziah, reaches out to an old friend for help,
Dez
has no choice but to answer. The Swann sisters have been pulled into a dizzying web of cover-ups and danger. At the center lies an insidious Oregon-based tech corporation, Clockjack, which has enough money and hired guns to silence just about anyone -- including this rag-tag trio. Luckily, Dez’s speciality is not just to open doors, but keep them open -- and protect those working to expose Clockjack’s secrets. More stands in the way of the truth than just one corporation. When hired thugs come to the finish the job and attack the Swann sisters at the hospital,
Dez
does what he does best. Now, the two captured men (and the corpse
Dez
left behind) attract the attention of not just Clockjack, but of the Portland police, the D.E.A, and the U.S. Marshalls.
Dez
and the Swann sisters are on the run from powers beyond their control and means. Outnumbered, under resourced and outgunned,
Dez
must use all his skills to keep his friends safe and stand up to corporate conniving. After all, the one thing Clockjack didn’t count on? A good man with a simple job to do."--Publisher.
