Detective Stackhouse is demoted to a patrol car,
a political move to punish her for excellence.
Her first night back in a cruiser?
Halloween. The worst shift of the year.

Officer Stackhouse clocks in for her first shift on patrol in years. She's back in a squad car after drawing the ire of her police chief one too many times. She is paired with a rookie and told to train him, although she knows it's a set-up.

She radios in at six for the late shift, or the graveyard beat, and rolls into the jungle of Halloween.

By the time their shift ends at four in the morning, both she and the rookie will be pressed beyond their breaking point, and they’ll have learned that some allies are just wearing a deadly mask.

Ride along with Stackhouse from dusk till down, the entire wild night in one explosive book.
