When a valuable but unpopular painting is stolen from a local museum, Detective Nick Bramble takes an unexpected plunge into the art world. Going into it, he actually has two problems. One is his . . . well . . . attitude about art. The other is his daughter, who is determined to have a career in art. At first, he’s willing to give the thief a pat on the back, but he’s also willing to track the thief down, especially when he thinks doing so may help derail his daughter’s career choice. What he doesn’t know is, he’s due for a painful art lesson.

A young man’s brutal death is confirmed by the first cops on the scene, the EMTs, and the medical examiner. And by Detective Cleveland, who is assigned to the case without his usual partner. Everyone agrees the victim is truly dead. But Cleveland brings a little more to the job than a cop usually does. He has a gift that—so far—only he knows about, and he’s always wanted to keep it that way. He calls it a little tickle in the mind. Perhaps some might call it being haunted. Usually, when it speaks to him, it serves merely to keep himself out of trouble, but this time he’s sure it’s a different voice. Perhaps the urgent voice of the victim lying at his feet. If it is, he thinks he’d better listen. Still, it’s only able to give him impressions. Ninety minutes later, the victim wakes up on the way to the morgue, asking for Cleveland. This time, the message is unmistakable.

A chip has been made with a secret “Easter Egg,” a bonus more deadly than a gun.
Chips are all the rage again. They started putting the new ones into the cons up at the prison. Now, they’re putting them into the cops, too. They say it’s just for positive identification. But when Detective Sid Hiller begins to question a series of strange deaths of young men, he makes a chilling discovery. The cops and the cons are wearing the same chip, and hiding inside the new chips is a secret that’s stalking and waiting for the signal to kill. They’re getting away with it because the police have been taken over in a silent, clandestine coup. And the only one standing in their way is Detective Sid Hiller. And the girl who must save his life.
