"Darkly satisfying . . . This long-running series still has plenty of gas in the tank."?Publishers Weekly (starred review)
It's fixer versus fixer, and only one can win
Washington DC troubleshooter Joe DeMarco is pitted against a tech billionaire's merciless fixer in the latest pulse-pounding thriller from Edgar, Barry, and Shamus Award finalist Mike Lawson
Joe DeMarco is a capable man. He works as a fixer for John Mahoney, the former Speaker of the House (though DeMarco prefers the term ?troubleshooter?). He's the one Mahoney calls upon when there's a situation that requires creative problem solving.
Carla Andretti?a cutthroat lawyer at one of the world's top firms?is a fixer too. On behalf of the ultra-wealthy tech-mogul Leo Cage, Carla helps her boss conquer whatever he desires, even if she too must bend the law to make it happen.
When one of Leo's schemes begins to crumble, it threatens to expose them both on a massive scale, forcing Carla to do what she does best: fix the situation. In order to keep her and Leo's names clean, she'll have to go after the people responsible for the unraveling. The only problem? Joe DeMarco's onto her?and he knows all too well the tricks of the trade.
