Now Miami's one-time top detective is haunted by an empty house, bad memories . . . and an impossible job offer for obscenely good money.

His father is offering Max $15 million to bring the boy back'or, at the very least, to find his body and deliver his abductors. Max knows he should turn this case down. There's no way the kid is still alive, and pursuing his ghost means plunging headfirst into Haiti, a steaming island hotbed of crime, greed, voodoo, and corruption. And the three detectives who preceded Mingus are all dead . . . or worse.
