Homicide cops Eliza Ochoa and Ike Horner are on the scene of a body dump in a rundown midwestern city, crouching over the freezing corpse of another dead working girl. She's been cut up in all the most delicate places, and so it's perhaps understandable that Ike and Eliza at first miss the most telling detail of this routine Booth City morning: she isn't actually female. As the two detectives go over the last days of a young prostitute's life, pushed more by dogged determination than any extraordinary sleuthing abilities, the facts lead them deep into a quickly unravelling conspiracy that stretches from the darkest holes in Booth to the fringes of its most influential families. As the investigation hurtles toward its violent and startling conclusion, Ike and Eliza remain intent on proving, perhaps only to themselves, that justice is indeed possible in Booth City.
