Dismas Hardy, Abe Glitsky, and Wyatt Hunt return in a
compelling and timely legal thriller filled with blackmail,
political intrigue, and multiple murder.
The
first victim is Dylan Vogler, a charming ex-convict who
manages the Bay Beans West coffee shop in San Francisco’s
Haight-Ashbury district. When his body is found, inspectors
discover that his knapsack is filled with high-grade
marijuana. It soon becomes clear that San Francisco’s A-list
flocked to Bay Beans West not only for their caffeine
fix.
But how much did Maya Townshend—the beautiful
socialite niece of the city’s mayor, and the absentee owner
of the shop—know about what was going on inside her
business? And how intimate had she really been with Dylan,
her old college friend?
As another of Maya’s
acquaintances falls victim to murder, and as the names of
the dead men’s celebrity, political, and even law-
enforcement customers come to light, tabloid-fueled
controversy takes the investigation into the realms of
conspiracy and cover-up. Prosecutors close in on Maya, who
has a deep secret of her own—a secret she needs to protect
at all costs during her very public trial, where not only
her future but the entire political landscape of San
Francisco hangs in the balance, hostage to an explosive
secret that Dismas Hardy is privilege-bound to protect.
