What do you get if you cross a sociopath, hotshot detective with a pyromaniacal arsonist? That's right, you get Dewey Andreas. As one of three agents on the case to find out what happened to a missing girl from Atlanta, Demetrius "Dewey" Andreas is in for the fight of his life. All the evidence points to an inside job and it seems like everyone wants nothing more than for the case to go cold.

His voice is a coarse smoke. "Hey, you need a light?" "No," I say it too quickly. "You're making me nervous." I turn to watch his hands in the dark. They are long, thin, and bony knuckles like the whites of claws reaching for me in the moonlight. He puts one hand on my throat as he leans close and his breath hits my ear. The other hand reaches out from behind him and grabs my arm; he pulls me to him with such force that I stumble back against the wall of our booth before he lets go, letting me fall to the floor between us.
