Summary

The criminal underworld is teetering on the brink of war, and only Smitty can quell the storm.
 
The disappearance of math prodigy Donald Irving ignites a fuse that could blast the city's crime syndicates into oblivion. A bloody showdown between the gangs is inevitable, unless Smitty can unravel the mystery and find the missing genius.
 
Smitty is a whisper in the dark; a story passed between those who fear the night. A hitman, a thief, a specter bent on vengeance - he has an uncanny ability to navigate and survive the criminal world. Now, his skills will be put to the ultimate test.
 
The second book in B.R. Stateham's Dark Retribution Series, DISCREET INQURIES is a gritty thriller where intellect meets instinct.

Lana Lee runs her family’s Chinese restaurant in Cleveland’s Asia Village like nobody’s business. When it comes to actual cooking, however, she’s known to be about a step up from boiling rice.
