A dead lawyer, half a million dollars, and half a lifetime of keeping it a secret in the Holy City.

CHARLESTON, SC—Wyatt Brewer is at a spiritual impasse: recently sober, flirting with Catholicism, and eking out a life as a newspaper reporter in the Holy City. His life takes a turn one winter morning when he is assigned to cover the death of a mysterious Estonian who washed up on Folly Beach.

Ten days later, intelligence agents Bert Wilson and Penelope Lowe pick him up for interrogation, and Wyatt understands he’s stumbled into an underground world of crime and corruption. The agents give him a choice: Help them bring down a mole in their division or fend for himself against Eastern European gangsters and dirty government officials.

Part southern crime novel, part cat-and-mouse espionage thriller, Jon Sealy’s fourth novel is a meditation on the many ways the human heart can betray us.
