In these five hard-bitten tales, PI Hayden Fuller searches for a missing girl while tangling with a sex ring; mixes it up with N'oublie jamais, while dealing with a domestic abuse case; investigates his father's murder and tumbles onto a cult and a leader who wants to "dismantle the universe"; dukes it out with Nazis in Bannerville, Pop 1201, and their "triumph of redemption" featuring mechanical dragons; and stumbles through a demi-monde of underground filmmakers while busting up a sex trafficking ring. Fuller, with his fists and snub-nosed .38, unpacks a host of lies as each narrative builds to a shock ending. His is a pyrrhic journey, for in the dark, Fuller finds something more than night.

Former NHL teammate Bobby Ehle hires Hayden Fuller to investigate the brutal murder of his ex-wife. Chances are Ehle, who has a history of domestic violence, may have done it. Fuller's investigation drops him into a world of domestic terrorism (a revolutionary group, N'oublie jamais, plans to ruin Expo 67), psychedelic drugs (Blue 27 and Red 45) that can drastically change people's personalities, and faux doctors with their hydrotherapy treatments and plastic surgery services. His quest takes an inner turn as Fuller confronts his own personal trauma and troubled past. On top of all this he reconnects with his ex, Stana Younger. Together, can they solve one murder and prevent several more? This hardcover Collector's Edition includes color on the interior pages.
