To find the truth about one man’s death LAPD Detective Shane Scully was raised in an orphanage called Huntington House. There, he and a small group of kids were devoted to the home’s director Walter “Pop” Dix. An avid surfer with a larger-than-life spirit, Pop was the father Shane never had. And now, thirty years later, he is gone…The pallbearers will put their lives on the line…Pop is found dead, the victim of an apparent self-inflicted shotgun blast. He left a note naming six Huntington grads as his pallbearers. Shane is one of the chosen—but he doesn’t believe Pop’s death was a suicide. Now, along with the others, Shane embarks on a dangerous mission to unearth Pop’s real killer. But the group discovers an unexpected adversary whose power and influence far exceed anything they could have imagined—violent, dangerous men who are determined to keep the truth about Pop’s death under wraps…no matter who gets in their way. “Stephen J.
