The fourth novel in the thrilling Shamus Award winning, Agatha & Anthony Award nominated series.

The tenants of a Manhattan apartment in a heated dispute with their landlord believe he's using a bird-of-prey to hunt down their cats and drive them out of the building. Virginia PI Frank Pavlicek, an ex-NYPD cop and an avid falconer himself, investigates the bizarre case as a favor for his friend, another ex-cop-turned-PI. But he soon discovers that there's more at stake than cats and condos, pitting him against a sadistic street gang and a killer prowling Central Park with a great horned owl.

Jeffery Deaver says:
"Frank Pavlicek is a breath of fresh air in the field of private eye fiction. Witty, sharp, and flesh-and-blood real"

Steve Hamilton says:
"A book this good, and this original, helps remind me why I started reading mysteries in the first place... "

Rick Riordan says:
"Straka's storytelling is as strong as talons, and once he's got you in his grip, he never let's go."
