The Finger has taken down one of his people, he’s lost a vital shipment of Harry’s drugs, his neighbor’s dog is on its third week of dying loudly, and the one girl who’s seen his other side and come away unscathed—the girl that made the monster—is about to walk back into his life and twist his head around once again…
