Riveting psychological thriller from John Reinhard Dizon, author of Nightcrawler.
Detective Veronika Heydrich has one mission to complete before she lands her coveted promotion: uncovering the truth behind the "King of the Hoboes", a man who prides himself on selflessly helping the misfortunate homeless people of the city.
Convinced he is more dangerous than helpful, Veronika goes undercover as a vagrant herself, learning first hand of the trials and tribulations the poverty-stricken must endure. The further underground she goes, the more danger Veronika encounters. The King of the Hoboes is more powerful, more perilous, and more vicious than she ever realized.
Now, it is up to her to not only save the innocent homeless people of New York, but to find a way to save the city as well. Can Veronika find a way to take down the false messiah who is manipulating the media for gain and glory, while saving the people she has come to know and love as her own?
