FLYNN’S IN
Flynn is no stranger to the bizarre, the perverse, or the ridiculous. But when he is suddenly summoned by the Police Commissioner D’Esopo to a secret wilderness compound far outside their jurisdiction, he is a little surprised to find himself the hostage of a secret club of the nation’s most powerful and peculiar and forced to conduct a clandestine murder investigation. But before one murder is even solved, membership at the Rod and Gun club continues to drop.

FLYNN’S WORLD
When Flynn’s barely adolescent daughter asks him to rescue her friend from the cemetery, where he’s been fastened to a tree by a nail through his earlobe, Flynn is pretty sure there’s something more behind what seems like a bully’s prank. And he’s convinced there is more than mischief involved in the threats against the Harvard professor Louis Loveson. If that weren’t enough, Lieutenant John Kurt’s impressive arrest record follows some very disturbing patterns.
