Now, the truth behind these secret stories is finally revealed, straight from Dr. Watson’s pen.

George “Mase” Masaryk knows about secrets. He has a few of his own, including the reason he left the police department. The son of Czechoslovak hippies, his life has been a strange journey from rebel to cop to private investigator. 
It is a path his parents would never have chosen for him. 
One full of secrets and regrets. 
He is mulling over those secrets when businessman Andrew McDonough sits down next to him at the bar and the pair start drinking heavily.
