Defense attorney Paul Madriani gets caught in a web of deceit
and murder involving Cold War secrets, a rare coin dealer who once
worked for the CIA, and a furious assassin in one of the most
entertaining novels yet in this "New York Times" bestselling
series.
A woman pauses in the hallway of a darkened San Diego beach
house at night--listening for just the right moment when she can
flee before her companion notices that she's gone.
A man outside watches the same mansion, waiting for a sign that
he can enter on his mission of blood and carnage.
So begins this riveting new tale about Paul Madriani and his
latest case--that of Katia, a woman accused of an unlikely crime--a
trial that will unravel a careful but horrifying conspiracy.
Madriani soon realizes that he's signed onto something much more
sinister than a botched heist. As he searches for the truth that
will clear Katia's name, he finds himself on a path that takes him
from Southern California to Costa Rica, and, ultimately, to a
secret buried since Castro's rise to power.
Together with his partner, Harry Hinds, Madriani must piece
together the threads of a decades-old conspiracy involving
priceless gold coins, an aging American spy, a disaffected Russian
soldier, and a forgotten weapon from the days of JFK and the Cuban
Missile Crisis. As the separate strands of the story come together,
Madriani finds information that will ultimately lead him to the one
person who holds the key to it all: a man some call "The Guardian
of Lies."
In this fascinating thriller from "New York Times" bestselling
author Steve Martini, Paul Madriani faces his most challenging--and
most urgent--case yet, a breathless story that combines fact and
fiction and will hold readers captive until its final, explosive
conclusion.
