A Massachusetts state game warden’s body turns up under a pile of brush in the deep woods. They find a decapitated bear carcass on top of him. It’s paws are missing, too. Captain Larry Jamison’s personal life is a mess. But he is compelled to investigate the murder of one of his own. Officer Sam Travis, the victim's longtime partner, wants vengeance. They both get in over their heads to find out what these poachers are after. And why.

Studio executives & politicians in Chicagoland — “Hollywood 2.0” — demand answers as the investigation flounders. At first, Chicago Police Captain Lois Granger believes this is just another nasty serial homicide case complicated by the wild imagination of her pain-in-the-neck suspended Detective Chance McQuillan, a.k.a. McQ, and celebrity Scottish mystery author, a self-styled amateur sleuth, Aubrey Greigh.

One steamy summer a few years from now stinks of blood and greed. Crime in the giant Chicago regionplex climbs to an unprecedented high. Homicides top the list. Detective Chance McQuillan negotiates for the case’s lead. She recruits a reluctant Aubrey Greigh, a civilian who also lives at The Lit, to consult when the case stalls. Immediately, powerful forces sabotage their case. Greigh, a mystery writer, recognizes this case for what it is—the linchpin to a sordid conspiracy with a goal that eclipses the evidence and their collective imagination.
