To help an old friend with a gambling problem, a Boston lawyer confronts the mob in this âfresh and appealingâ mystery thriller (Publishers Weekly). Â Dalton Lancaster could have been a lawyer, but his heart wasnât in it. He quit Yale after his first year, and used his inheritance to go into the restaurant business, where he might have had some luck if heâd spent more time selling food and less time playing blackjack. As he gambled away his savings, restaurants, and family, his lawyer, Brady Coyne, stuck by him. So when Dalt is beaten up, but not robbed, by three mobsters, Brady canât help but think his friend is gambling again. But Dalton says he has kicked his vice. The attack wasnât a message to himâit was to his son. Having inherited his fatherâs addiction, Robert is in even deeper trouble than his dad ever was. When he fails to square things with his creditors, heâs kidnapped, and Brady is forced to gamble on a long shot: that Robert Lancaster is still alive. Â |
