Treachery; at first it deceives, at last it betrays.

Maverick private investigator Evan Buckley continues down the trail of murder, treachery and half-buried secrets he set out on in Before The Killing Starts, after Ellie Martin filled his head with tales of torture and sent him after the enigmatic Dixie.

Always one step behind the cold-blooded opposition and struggling to make sense of all the lies and betrayal, Evan doesn't know who to believe or trust -- if anybody. The only thing he knows for sure is the consequences of making the wrong decision will be brutal. And his predicament isn't helped when he finds himself the prime suspect in the latest murder -- looks like somebody with a hidden agenda just set him up.

With the reluctant help of Detective Ed Guillory -- presently suspended for remodeling a suspect's face whilst in custody -- Evan goes after the stolen cash in the hope that it might lead to the killer and maybe some answers.

Meanwhile, the dead man's brother just got out of jail and he's looking for answers of his own. With a gun in her mouth Ellie's feeling desperate and tells him Evan's his man if it's Old Testament style vengeance he's after. He's an eye-for-an-eye sort of guy with a homemade garrote and a sick sense of humor, but nobody's laughing when he gets his merciless wire around Evan's neck.
