The investigative blogger is the primary target of revenge. Instrumental in exposing the evil and moral corruption behind Operation CleanSweep — a diabolical plan created by billionaire Charles Claussen — Tremain now faces the man’s craving for vengeance. His plan collapsing and faced with arrest, Claussen staged his suicide, eluding capture. Consumed with rage, Claussen intends to settle the score personally, luring Matt into a deadly trap. Claussen, on the run for three years, is close to exhausting his resources. A shadowy group of four, the Brotherhood, secretly financed a major part of Operation CleanSweep. They want the reason his plan to rid Toronto of undesirables collapsed. Instead, Carling is in hiding. Angry, the Brotherhood calls in their IOU, sending a team of operatives to capture him. Can he pull off a second escape, this time from the Brotherhood? If they catch him, he knows their retribution will not be pretty. There’s a saying, “when you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves. Claussen ignores that advice and doubles down on revenge, risking it all to target Matt and his friends. For Claussen, a clock is ticking a deadly chime as the final confrontation nears, perhaps one of those graves is waiting?

Holding his bottle to cool his face, Carling broke the silence. "I was a wreck in court today, mumbling like a rookie. I couldn't keep my concentration. All I could feel was anxiety, thinking about that text," he said.

"You’re afraid? You have a gun," Matt said. "Imagine me. I’m armed with a laptop. I never retreat, I backspace." So much for humor, he thought.

"Claussen's dangerous. He’s had a long time to plan revenge." Carling took a long drink. "We have no idea where he is, what resources he has," he said.
