Only one way in. Is there no way out? Dodging despots and death threats... Their survival could be in doubt. Willow Ball and Cooper Chain are tied at the hip again, hoping to blend in with the masses in the city that never sleeps. Can they locate Willow's father before his time is up? Settling on old score wasn't on Cooper's mind - not until the man who destroyed his life shows up. Will history repeat itself? Dead bodies turn up like rotten fish in the East River. And while dodging threats has become a way of life for the unlikely crime-fighting duo, this time the odds are not in their favor. Could this be the end of the road for Ball & Chain? Filled with vivid characters that leap off the page, this Ball & Chain thriller promises more thrills, more wit, and that thread of romance that will keep your pulse popping until the very last sentence. If you're a fan of Michael Connelly's Ballard and Bosch, David Baldacci's King and Maxwell, Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles, Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar, or the TV show "Castle," you'll be enthralled by this gut-busting Ball & Chain thriller. *Warning: The Ball & Chain Thrillers are full of white-knuckle suspense and sarcastic sass.
