    About this ebook

    A mysterious cult is pushing a designer drug, and only Moodrow can shut the deadly organization down.

    Though they preach love and understanding, the people of Hanover House also know a thing or two about strong-arm tactics. When an errant member of the Canal Street cult plans to write a tell-all book exposing Davis Craddock's pseudo-religion as a sham, the Hanoverians react calmly. One of the cult's members, Flo Alamare, is dispatched to let the would-be author know that he's welcome to write whatever he likes -- so long as he doesn't care whether his daughter lives or dies.

    Soon Flo is found dumped in an empty lot in the Bronx. She's barely alive, having apparently suffered a stroke or seizure -- and the doctors don't realize that she overdosed on a powerful drug of Craddock's own design. She's returned to her parents, who had been desperately searching for her. The tough-minded Alamares want revenge, and hire bruising PI Stanley Moodrow to catch Craddock and break his cult wide open.
