In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Manhattan cop-turned-lawyer Stone Barrington is back on his home turf caught between a filthy rich conman and a beautiful prosecutor... Not long after Stone and his ex-partner Dino make the acquaintance of Billy Bob—a smooth-talkin’ Texan packing a wad of rare two-dollar bills—someone takes a shot at them. Against his better judgment, Stone offers Billy Bob a safe haven for the night but almost immediately regrets it. The slippery out-of-towner has gone missing and someone has been found dead—in Stone’s town house no less. Now, Stone is now stuck between a stunning federal prosecutor and a love from his past, a con man with more aliases than hairs on his head, and a murder investigation that could ruin them all.

"You lit his hands-on fire, you crazy bitch," is probably something my mom never thought she would hear. However, she never thought she would marry someone who would punch a two-year-old in the face, especially when the two-year-old is their son, Joey. Joey had to survive with two brutal parents who saw a need to make his, and his siblings, lives a world of fear! Joey's siblings are Marilyn, Ellie, and Jimmy. All four are dehumanized by Lee Grim and his wife. As a military brat, Joey was more brat than military. His parents moved him all over the country and then at the age of 9, two weeks before Christmas, "dad" took off forever. This only made Joey swear he would love Christmas even more, for the rest of his life, and he never disappointed himself. The "new dad" was better, but not by much. He would use food against the kids by not allowing them to eat. This type of beat down was especially hard for a now 10-year-old kid. After Charles Bockus adopted the four kids, it got worse. After one very eventful beating on Joey the family had to make a hastily put together move to Florida. The move brought Joey new friends and new adventures--adventures into alcohol and drugs and cigarettes. By Joey's 18th year he was ready for something new, and made the choice to die at his own hands. The plan, the intervention, the outcome, all help Joey, when in the end, he gets what he wants!
