The dead boy's mom seeks help from an old flame that's employed as a detective. What she doesn't know is that he suffers from acromegaly-a physical deformity resulting in brutish facial features at mid-life. Will his freakish appearance get in the way of solving the case?
A pair of teen suicides raise terrible questions, but can a grim private eye commit himself to a case that is so closely connected to his own haunted past?

The answers to Oxel's mystery unfold in the one place he never thought to look. The grisly truth that two boys died to conceal is revealed at last.
