Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Abandoned by his parents as an infant, Scully was reared in an orphanage, Huntington House. The only positive thing in his young life was the attention of the Home's director, Walter 'Pop' Dix. Pop, an avid surfer, would take a small group of kids for early morning surfing. He was the father none of them had ever had. That was thirty years ago. Now, Shane is forced to revisit these memories when Pop is found dead, the victim of an apparently self-inflicted shotgun blast. He leaves a message asking six specific people, all of whom attended Huntington House, to be his pallbearers, and Shane is one of the chosen. He and his fellow pallbearers don't believe it was a suicide. That leaves murder. But why, and by whom? Together, the pallbearers embark on a dangerous odyssey in pursuit of justice for Pop, and for retribution against those responsible for his death. Their journey takes them up against an unforeseen adversary whose power and influence far exceed anything they could have imagined.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Shane Scully and his partner are assigned to the case of "The Fingertip Killer" - serial murderer preying on homeless Vietnam veterans in Los Angeles. Every two weeks he strikes: he beats his victims, and then shoots them in the back of the head. Once they're dead, he cuts off their fingertips and tosses their bodies in the river. Into this explosive mix, comes another killing that Shane believes doesn't fit the pattern. Scully suspects an elaborate copycat murder. A bullet pulled from the last victim's skull produces what police call a "cold hit"- an unexpected ballistics match linking one unsolved case to another - and the previous victim was an LA Police officer, killed ten years earlier. After FBI agents throw him off the Fingertip Killer case, Scully teams up with his wife and boss, Alexa. Outside the law and deep undercover, they fight to see justice done for the slain officer, and, possibly, to unravel a murderous plot with criminal connections high up in the U.S. government.…
