Boston might be white with snow, but there's nothing but a winter's darkness for Shane Cleary, a former cop, veteran, and reluctant PI. There's an international war within the mafia over drugs, and he has been asked to find the nephew of the local crime boss. When federal agencies descend on the city and order the police department to stand down on a homicide, the BPD reaches out to Shane for answers.
Shane's past in Vietnam comes to haunt him when the corpse of a veteran is found on Boston Common, frozen to death in front of the State House. Then, a former army buddy comes to town looking for justice. His presence endangers all that Shane holds dear.
Shane must come to terms with a side of himself he thought he had left behind. The mounting body count and circumstances compel him to play a game of Liar's Dice. Can he deceive and detect deception around him? Protect those he loves, while he solves the cases?
