| im Bishop is a hard man, as cold as the wind off the water and tough to the point of brutality. Scott Weiss is Bishop s boss, a world-weary ex-cop who runs a private detective agency out of a concrete tower in the heart of San Francisco. Bishop s assignment is to investigate the airport and report back to Weiss. Bishop is willing to beat any man into the ground and draw any woman into his bed to get the answers he s after. A pilot himself, he takes to the air to check out the illegal flights of a thug named Chris Wannamaker. Then he coolly seduces Wanna-maker s lonely wife in order to find out more. Back in the city, as Weiss struggles to rein Bishop in, he begins a connected investigation of his own. A death in a mansion in Presidio Heights, a seemingly random murder south of Market, an apparent suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge: all seem to be the work of Weiss old nemesis, an expert gun-for-hire who goes by the name of Shadowman. Each step of this trail of blood seems to bring Weiss closer to Julie Wyant, a mysterious beauty who captures the imagination of every man she meets. Soon Bishop has found his way into the center of a massive criminal conspiracy, a plan set to climax with an act of audacious violence and a murder that would be impossible for any killer but one. With his operative s life in danger, Weiss begins a race against time to outsmart the murderer who still stalks his nightmares and to rescue the woman who haunts his dreams. |
