Detective Bryan Kessler is a Washington, D.C., cop, sidelined to a desk years ago after an injury on the street when he was a patrol officer. His current assignment is in Financial Crimes, whose investigations are routine at best--so it's a surprise when intelligence surfaces that he's been targeted by a "lifter," in underworld parlance a person who "lifts" information from people, through whatever means necessary. And the lifter who's after Kessler is one of the most troubling in the business: a seasoned, though mysterious, pro, Henry Loving. He'll do whatever's necessary to get somebody to talk. He's skilled at torture (subtle, as befits his style), but he vastly prefers to get an "edge" on his targetleverageby kidnapping or endangering a target's spouse, siblings, friends, co-workers and children.
