Jack has been on hiatus since the events in Harbingers. With his lover Gia’s encouragement he dips a toe back into the fix-it pool. Christy Pickering’s eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn’t returning her calls. Will Jack find out why?
Jack learns there’s a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, a victim of a bizarre water-torture murder. As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem’s past he learns that the man is not who he says he is. Who—and what—he is will have a devastating effect on Jack’s life and future, adding another piece to the puzzle of who he really is and why he’s been drafted into this cosmic shadow war.

Summary
A Repairman Jack novel) I didn't think this was a very good book. It started off good and engaged me, but got very weird. The main character, Jack, is a private investigator type who appears to be living under a false identity, so I was never able to tell who he really was or why he was living under an assumed name. He gets a call from a woman named Christy to investigate her 18 year old daughter's new boyfriend, who is twice her age. Jack investigates and uncovers a secret government testing facility. I think you would have had to read the previous novels in this series to really know what some of the people and things the book referred to meant. I don't recommend this book unless you have read and liked other books in the series.
Violence-Several violent scenes, descriptions of murder and attempted suicide
Language-Cursing throughout the book
Sexual-Several sex scenes, not too explicit though
Drug & Alcohol-Drinking, drug use, drugging of others (roofies)
