The fifth explosive Nebraska crime novel, a Mystery Book of the Month Club Selection

After finishing a case in Minneapolis, private eye Nebraska gets into a fist-fight with a rich kid who has more money than brains. But what seems like a passing, unpleasant experience turns into a nightmare that follows Nebraska back to his home in Omaha, where a friend, mistaken for him, is savagely beaten and left for dead. So Nebraska disappears into an alias he'd created for an emergency just like this and, while in hiding and in anonymity, tries to discover who the brutal, vengeful forces are who want him killed.
