Stone Barrington thought his latest case would be routine. The seasoned attorney and occasional investigator has handled plenty of complex situations before, but this time something feels different. A new adversary has emerged, one whose methods and motives remain unclear. As Stone begins to unravel the threat, he realizes this opponent operates by different rules than the criminals he usually encounters. The danger escalates quickly, forcing Stone to rely on his network of contacts and his own sharp instincts. Each move he makes seems to draw him deeper into a web of deception and violence. Stone must stay ahead of an enemy who appears to know his every weakness. The stakes climb higher as the threat becomes personal, testing not just Stone's professional skills but his survival instincts. In this high stakes game, Stone discovers that some enemies are more dangerous than others.
