All former Dallas detective Oswald really wants is to be left alone. After all the battles he's fought on the streets-and in the first Gulf War before then-he's more than ready for some R&R. But when famed medical researcher Anita Nazari begs Oswald to help protect her daughter's life, how can he refuse?
Now Oswald finds himself engaged in a high-stakes battle against a conspiracy of shady former government officials with an unhealthy interest in Dr. Nazari and her work. Among them: A man known only as the Professor, who leads Oswald back into the dark heart of the Dallas underworld-and straight into the line of fire against an enemy more insidious and deadly than he's ever faced?
