Fifty years of guilt. Answers that do more harm than good. A child who might never have existed. Fifty years ago Frank Hanna made a mistake. He's never forgiven himself. Nor has anybody else for that matter. Now the time has come to atone for his sins, and there's only one person he can trust . Wise-cracking, street-smart private-eye Evan Buckley has had some tough cases in his time.

Looking for somebody who might never have existed may well be the toughest, peeling back fifty years of lies and deceit to uncover the tragic story hidden underneath. Trouble is, not everybody likes a happy ending and some very nasty people are out to make sure he doesn't succeed. To make matters worse, Evan's own past is back to bite him with a vengeance, as his nemesis, Carl Hendricks, feeds his festering hatred from his prison cell, and sets a killer with a bow and a grudge on Evan's tail.
