"While investigating a suicide, Dave Brandstetter discovers a dead reporter's final scoop ... Journalist Adam Streeter covered some of the most dangerous stories of the last quarter century, ranging from Cambodia to Siberia and anywhere troubled in between.

Why would someone who lived so purposefully and with such demonstrable bravery turn a pistol on himself? Insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter has seen enough suicides to know this isn't one. Suspecting treachery, he digs into Adam's last story--an unpublished investigation into the whereabouts of a vanished South American strongman, called El Carnicero, the Butcher--and finds that Adam's death shows every hallmark of his bloody style. Dave quickly realized that some very powerful people would like him to drop the case. Dave's own lover, Cecil, would like to see him take it easy for once.
