A straightforward case of hit-and-run? Or is there a more sinister reason behind the death of womanizer and wheeler-dealer Donald Markey? The only witness to the fatal accident is Virginia Mitchell, wife of DCI Benedict Mitchell, and she is adamant the driver hit the victim intentionally. Mitchell trusts the instincts of his wife more than the ruling of his superintendent who decides that despite the unpopularity of Donald Markey, his death doesn’t merit the status of a murder enquiry. So flying in the face of authority, in typically impulsive and ebullient fashion, Mitchell determines to solve the crime to his satisfaction – and the satisfaction of his demanding superintendent.

In Gasconade County, Missouri -- once called the meth capital of the world -- Deputy Sherriff Dale Banks discovers $52,000 hidden in the broken-down trailer that Jerry Dean Skaggs uses for cooking crystal. And he takes it. Banks knows what he did was wrong, but he did it for all the right reasons. At least, he thinks so. But for every wrong, there is a consequence. Jerry Dean can't afford to lose that $52,000 -- he owes it to his partners, a crooked cop, and the fearsome Reverend Butch Pogue, who controls the town's meth production with an iron fist. To avoid the holy man's wrath, Jerry Dean sets in motion a series of events that will threaten Banks's family, his life, and everything he thinks he knows about the world.

There are two Jewish cops in all of Helsinki. One of them, Ariel Kafka, a lieutenant in the Violent Crime Unit, identifies himself as a policeman first, then a Finn, and lastly a Jew. He's willing to risk his career to get an answer. Murky circumstances surround his investigation of a Jewish businessman's murder. Neo-Nazi violence, intergenerational intrigue, shady loans-- predictable lines of investigation lead to unpredictable culprits. But a second killing strikes closer to home, and the Finnish Security Police come knocking. The tentacles of Israeli politics and Mossad reach surprisingly far, once again wrapping Kafka in their sticky embrace.
