he junior member of a prestige’s law firm rousted from his slumber on the beach finds himself at the center of a murder investigation. Bodies drop quickly in this twisting story of greed and betrayal as our hero unravels why he has become the killer’s next target. Troubled by a trail he lost and spurred on by his mother’s folksy wisdom he pulls on the threads of evidence. At times, the threads yield a nugget of truth, and sometimes the blazing guns of the killer’s henchmen. Laced with dry humor, and for the most part well paced, the climax seemed drawn out and a convoluted attempt to get out of a painted-in corner.
Excellent writing style…keeps you entertained and isn’t boring at all. Without cliches, the dialogue is tight. Good plot development.

Lou Mason rocks! And so does Joel Goldman!
I enjoyed the main character Lou Mason. An interesting story line. The ending was a surprise.
This book is pretty complex and I found it a bit hard to follow at the beginning but as the investigation moved along, I got more drawn into it. Some parts were very good with lots of suspense, while others were mostly conversations. I felt sorry for Lou that he didn’t get out of the firm sooner and felt bad for the sheriff too. I liked the ending.
Love all his books!
I read this book because it was set in the Kansas city area where I live. However the book was poorly written using too many cliches and a Wi-Fi plot.
