"So you're Mike Romeo. You don't look so tough."

All Romeo wanted was to chill by the pool and talk to Zane Donahue, the man who'd summoned him. But trouble walked up to ruin a good day. When Romeo's around somebody's always spoiling for a fight. Dispatching a punk is one thing. Helping an old friend with a murder rap is another. Archie Jennison comes to Romeo when a gruesome and unsolved Hollywood murder is connected to him in a bizarre way. As Romeo begins his investigation, things take on a dark and twisted turn. Hidden secrets cast shadows over Archie's case, and an open wound from Romeo's own past threatens to take him down. Suddenly, Romeo is in the fight of his life, and somebody wants to make sure he loses-for good.

Another in the International Thriller Writers Award-winning series that's been called "sharp as a switchblade" (Meg Gardiner).
