Book description
Life looks good for John Deal. A new contract promises to put the
family business in the black and restore its reputation, tarnished by
suicide, 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... Les Standiford is the bestselling author of
twenty books and novels, including the John Deal mystery series, and the
works of narrative history “The Man Who Invented Christmas”, a “New York
Times” Editor's Choice, and “Last Train to Paradise”. He is the director
of the creative writing program at Florida International University in
Miami, where he lives with his wife, Kimberly, a psychotherapist and
artist.
