Dan Shaw has only been practicing law for a few months, but
already he's unsure if it's the profession that will make
him happy. Surprising everyone, he sets sail, planning to
spend the entire summer on the water and maybe come home
with some plans. But alas, any idea of quiet, serene
moments on his boat are lost when he finds a naked, nearly
drowned woman in the water.
As he learns more about Kate and the fact that her husband
attempted to murder her, Dan finds himself embroiled in the
kind of trouble that just seems to follow him around. He
can't deny his feelings for Kate, nor can he stop himself
from playing White Knight and attempting to help her. She
must get her young son away from his father, who's taken
the boy to the Dominican Republic where he's almost
untouchable.
I first met Daniel Shaw (and his friend, lawyer Tom Petrie)
in SEA OF BONES, and I've been anxiously awaiting this new
book. I wasn't disappointed. Terrific characters and an
excellent plot combine to make a superb read. I have only
one complaint and that's about the romance. Too much love,
too fast. I'm never convinced that the two characters love
each other that much.
But that aside, Faust is a witty writer who develops
complex plots and characters, enthralling the reader. He is
definitely one of my favorite new discoveries -- these books
are a must-read. Everyone should meet Petrie -- he's a hoot.
Dan Shaw has been practicing law only four months and he’s
already burned-out. Add the fact that he’s just lost his
girlfriend and the cops are scouring his dubious past, and
it’s no wonder Shaw decides to set sail for the summer. But
even alone in the middle of the sea, trouble finds him.
She’s naked, nearly drowned, and has little memory as to
how she got that way. But the real story is even more
twisted. Cesar Cardinal is a diplomat who takes diplomatic
immunity literally. A playboy and high-stakes gambler, he’s
feigned his wife’s suicide at sea and taken their young son
to a heavily armed compound in the Dominican Republic,
where U.S. law can’t touch him. But that’s not going to
stop Shaw. From Bell Harbor to Monte Carlo, he’s baiting a
trap with his own life…and there’s no telling what he’ll
catch.
