Quickly marshalling his resources, which include two private detectives, an accused murderer and an ace ex-IRS agent, he begins a campaign to save his law practice, his wealth, his reputation and his self respect from the astonishing actions of the person closest to him.
The action takes his team across the US southwest, and deep into parts of Mexico where no one can be trusted, least of all the police. We visit the lush, southern California world of the very, very wealthy, from the delights of exclusive spas and secluded hotels to the ever-present dangers of the U.S.-Mexican border. Eagle is pitted against a wily and completely ruthless adversary. Full of double-crosses and unexpected twists, Ed’s life is one of heightened risks – and pleasures.
Librarian's note: this is one of four volumes in the author's Ed Eagle series.
