When forty-year-old cop Winnie Farlowe lost his shield, he
lost the only protection he had. Ever since, he's been
fighting a bad back, fighting the bottle, fighting his
conscience. But now he's in for a special fight. Never
before has he come up against anyone like Tess Binder. She's
a stunningly beautiful, sexually spirited three-time
divorcee from Newport Beach-capital of California's Golden
Orange, where wallets are fat, bikinis are skimpy, and
cosmetic surgery is one sure way to a billionaire's bank
account. Nearly a year ago Tess Binder's father washed up on
the beach with a bullet in his ear. The coroner called it
suicide, but to Tess it means the fear of her own fate. And
Winnie Farlowe is a man willing to follow wherever she
leads-straight into the juicy pulp of the Golden Orange, a
world where money is everything, but nothing adds up . . .
where death and chicanery flourish amidst ranches, mansions,
and yachting parties. In his long-awaited new novel,
best-selling author Joseph Wambaugh combines harrowing
suspense, scathing humor, and a moving portrait of a man on
the brink of self-destruction.
