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.!
