Dead Quiet

Some of the most capable crime-fighting organizations on the planet have failed to catch a pair of fugitives, and the question is how they managed it. Where have these two gone, and what are they planning next? Robert McCall, the rebellious son of Trey McCall, the chairman of Nemesis, fled Canada and is now hiding somewhere in the United States. His mind has come unmoored. He has come to believe he is the latest incarnation of the notorious criminal Lucky Richards, and he has set out to wage a vendetta against Nemesis and the McCall family that has been passed down through generations.

Desiree Richards, Lucky's widow, has withdrawn deep into Canada, where she is working out her next con using the methods her late husband had perfected. She is driven by a desire for revenge and by her vision of a more enlightened world, one she believes she could have helped bring about if the McCalls had not interfered. Lucky would still be alive if not for them.

Between Robert, Desiree and their accomplices, the McCall family has no peace until the fugitives are caught. Whether justice arrives through a courtroom or through a more cosmic reckoning is the question the story turns on.
