In the mid 1980s, Kobok, a hard drinking, cynical, veteran ATF Agent, is caught between an inept supervisor and a system that demands results to avoid transfer to Butte, Montana, or a duty station where mail comes monthly by tramp steamer. Under the gun to produce a major case, he’s summoned to an arson homicide in an affluent Dallas neighborhood where the only survivor is the ex-stripper wife of the victim, the owner of a brassiere factory. The ghastly crime scene discloses two pre-teen sons also dead in the debris. Kobok discovers a child’s journal depicting what appears to be a game involving mythical characters and a twelve-sided dice. Thinking it might shed light on lives of a dysfunctional family, he tucks the journal away, but it soon drifts out of mind. With a rookie agent partner, weeks out of the academy, and Bull Hooper, a hard-nosed, kick-ass Dallas Homicide Detective, he wends his way along the seamy underside of Dallas, through strip clubs, an outlaw biker gang war, a variety of back alley characters, and sudden, deadly violence. In the end, he realizes with sobering clarity that what seems to be, often isn’t, and the journal scribbling of a child exposed to horrors beyond his comprehension, could be more insightful than any reasoning mind could possibly understand.

He was massive; he'd had to tuck his wings in at his side to have room for movement. The black and blue of his scales shone even in the dying light. The bright yellow eyes surveyed the room, before locking me in his gaze. He roared again and I decided to take a stand. In general I didn't think much before I acted, and my plans were often considered to be brave or stupid. Usually both."Braxton Compass," I scolded him, moving right up into his strike zone, my hands on my hips. "Your scaled dragon ass is blocking the doorway."Jacob, Tyson, and Maximus crowded behind me. They were ready to snatch me up if their brother made the wrong move. But I knew it would have to be pretty exceptional circumstances before Braxton would lose enough of himself to hurt me.The massive beast lowered his head until we were eye to eye. He would scent trickles of my fear, but despite my body's involuntary response, I wasn't really afraid of Braxton. His dragon was a little unpredictable, but he was strong enough to keep both of them controlled. I knew he'd pulled this stunt to remind the council where the real power lay and that he didn't like secrets being kept, especially when they personally affected us.The dragon and I continued our stare-off, my dark blue eyes locked on his yellow. "Let's call it a tie," I finally said, grinning and raising my eyebrows at the same time.
