Part of Stone Barrington, book 41
First published 2017
Stone Barrington thought he had seen every kind of trouble New York could throw at him. The attorney and sometime detective has navigated dangerous cases, corrupt officials, and personal vendettas throughout his career. But his latest situation tests even his considerable skills at staying one step ahead of disaster. What starts as a routine matter quickly spirals into something far more complex and threatening. Stone must rely on his network of contacts, his street smarts, and his ability to think fast when the stakes keep rising. The deeper he gets pulled into this mess, the more he realizes that getting out clean will require every trick he has learned over the years. Stone discovers that sometimes the biggest challenges come from the places you least expect them.
