Stone Barrington is back in New York in this thrilling page-turner from the perennially entertaining, bestselling author, Stuart Woods. After a rather harrowing sojourn in Key West, he's looking to stay closer to home and work on some simple divorce and custody cases for Woodman & Weld. Then he crosses paths with the fetching Broadway actress, and sometime lip model Carrie Cox, and Stone gets a little more deeply involved with business than he'd expected. Soon his new lady love turns out to be a lady with a shady past, and Stone and his downtown cop friend, Dino Bacchetti, realize that her beauty may come with an unusually high price!
