Infected: Throwaways

Sequel to Infected: HoldenMean Streets: Book TwoFrom the Infected Universe Former prostitute and street kid turned private detective Holden Krause is asked to look into the murder of Burn, a black-market dealer, who turns up dead near the infamous homeless encampment known as the Jungle. It's a place Holden is familiar with―and his memories of it aren't entirely bad. The settlement has been taken over by sinister people but Holden isn't afraid to take them on. A big part of his PI gig is cover for his more dangerous vigilante crusade: exacting justice for the people the system ignores, the throwaways―people just like the ones living in the Jungle. It's getting harder and harder for Holden's partner, Chai Nayar, to look the other way while Holden searches out retribution beyond the confines of the law. When one of their associates is shot and Holden realizes―far too late―that he's in over his head with this case, Chai is left to pick up the pieces and hopefully save their lives. He resorts to the only solution he can find and calls Roan, who is more lethal than ever. Will it be their saving grace, or a fatal mistake?
