Synopsis: &“Artfully crafted, ingeniously layered noir fiction . . . proving once more that [Standiford] is a master of crime fiction.&” —Publishers Weekly Life looks good for John Deal. A new contract promises to put the family building business in the black and restore its reputation, tarnished by the suicide of John's father. Getting out from under Barton Deal&’s shady past is tough. The new contract is linked to old ties—like the multi-million-dollar pact Barton made with Miami mobster Lucky Rhodes decades ago. Now both men are gone, the money has vanished, and Lucky&’s son wants it back. John Deal is about to discover just how deep blood ties can cut . . . &“The action is nonstop, the setting of volatile South Florida from the 1950s to the present is fascinating, and the characterization of a man forced to defend what he loves because of the greed of others is compelling.&” —Booklist &“An essential addition to the [John Deal] series.&” —Miami Herald
