Stone Barrington thought he had seen every kind of danger in his years as a lawyer and former NYPD detective. But when a new threat emerges, it quickly becomes clear that this adversary operates on a different level entirely. The stakes escalate as Stone finds himself targeted by someone who knows his weaknesses and exploits them with surgical precision. Every move Stone makes seems anticipated, every safe harbor compromised. His usual network of allies and resources may not be enough this time. As the danger closes in, Stone must rely on his instincts and experience to survive an enemy who has studied him carefully. The pursuit becomes personal, testing not just Stone's tactical skills but his resolve when everything he values comes under assault.
