And then there's Louise Firestone.Louise Firestone dumped Hondo for a shot at marriage to big Texas oil money, so when she suddenly walks into his office begging him to protect her from her husband's double life, Hondo smells opportunity.But helping her carries risks as far-flung as Houston itself. Hondo will have to manipulate the DA, scam detectives, outwit a city hall fixer—and even harder: survive the traps of his own fascination with Louise.He's sure he's got it all wired tight...until the mob shows up, and the killing begins. As Louise's twisted world unravels, can Hondo get her out without getting them both killed?"A fresh, new voice. Hondo is a great protagonist with Texas-sized flaws...pissing off authority...offending clients...with a big tender heart."—Pamela Fagan Hutchins, USA Today Bestselling Author
