On the Gold Coast of Florida, Stone Barrington hunts a master of disguise and deceit in this thriller in his compulsively readable, bestselling series. Cop-turned-investigator Stone Barrington becomes reacquainted with a case he thought was buried years ago—and must settle romantic entanglements that haunt him still.

Luxuriating in the winter warmth of a Palm Beach café, Stone is stunned to recognize someone he thought was dead: the beautiful Allison Manning, a woman he had defended against a murder charge on a Caribbean island. Allison is alive and well—and suddenly very rich. And she needs a favor: Might Stone help her square a charge of insurance fraud that’s been hanging over her head for years?

But first, Stone must find the man who is stalking her. He suspects more than one man: an elusive writer who never shows his face; an enigmatic businessman with a past he won’t reveal; and even Allison’s former husband—whom they have all thought dead since those days in the Caribbean. Only Stone can thwart the sly and greedy plan to steal the millions at stake.
