Chicago is home base for Protectors, Inc., a corporation renting out
super-powered men and women as franchises and heroes and
spokespersons... making money and enjoying prestige and power in a
world without super-powered bad guys. But when one of the Protectors
is found murdered, the trail begins to lead back to one of his other
teammates. None of them want to consider the possibility that one of
their own has turned to the dark side... so it falls to Lieutenant
Detective John Riley to follow the evidence wherever it goes. His
journey will take him into a maze of secrets going back over seventy
years, to the creation of the very first Protector... and a killer
whose identity may threaten the very existence of Protectors, Inc.!
