Harry Starke: Private Investigator Harry Starke spends sleepless nights wandering the city streets. His perpetual attempt to clear his head takes a dark turn when a frightened young woman runs past him and hurls herself off a bridge to her death. Wracked with guilt over letting the woman's life slip through his fingertips, he vows to find out what drove her to make that fateful plunge. His search for clues leads him into a corrupt underworld where sins and secrets are traded with little regard for the innocent lives left shattered in their wake. To discover the victim's tormentor, he must match wits with a crooked congressman, a beautiful senator, and a sadistic killer. But if he doesn't tread carefully within the intricate web of lies, he'll end up as the next casualty in a lawless game of bloodTwo for the money: Who killed Tom Sattler? Who stole $350 million from New Vision Strategic Investments? It's up to Harry Starke to figure it out. The call came on a Tuesday evening in the middle of August at around nine-thirty. It was from an old school friend that Harry Starke hadn't heard from in almost five years, and he hadn't thought about him in almost as long. Tom Sattler wanted to meet with Harry urgently, and it wouldn't wait until morning. When Harry arrived at Sattler's luxury home less than an hour later, he found him dead, lying in a pool of blood, a single gunshot wound to the head, and .22 revolver lying close to his hand. Suicide? If he was going to do that, why the hell did he call me? The search for an answer to that question starts Harry on wide ranging investigation that involves murder, corruption, organized crime, and deceptionHill House: For more than ten years, she lay beneath the floorboards of Hill House. For more than ten years, she waited. Who was she? Who put her there? Why? Harry Starke vows to find the answers to those questions, but to do so he must embark upon an investigation that will put him and those close to him in deadly danger, take him deep into the underground city, the Dark Web, murder, organized crime, prostitution, and human trafficking. One by one, he peels back the layers, and with each one he sinks a little deeper into the morass, the seamy underbelly of a world few people know about, and even fewer want to be a part of. Hill House has many doors. None of them lead anywhere but into darkness and despair
