Serpents in the Cold introduced us to Cal and Dante, whose previous investigation brought them to the highest ranks of Boston’s political elite. This time, Cal and Dante descend into the city’s shadowy underbelly–a world of packed dance halls, Irish wakes, and funeral parlors. There they discover a terrorist plot that will shake the city to its core and bring them head-to-head not only with Cal’s past, but with the IRA Army Council itself.
