Sea of Bones

A shocking novel of greed, deception, and murder among the Gold Coast elite who can afford anything-even the darkest of desires. Dan Shaw hopes to be a lawyer someday-if he can only stay out of prison long enough to pass the bar. Neither is likely when he agrees to help hotshot Florida attorney Thomas Petrie track down a slick con man who's swindled a consortium of well-to-do Paradise Key clients out of $22 million. But the charismatic Victor Trebuchet and his sexy partner in crime are a lot more dangerous than anyone imagined. And the silken counter-sting set up in an Italian villa to snare the couple may end up trapping Shaw instead. With that much money on the line, anyone is liable to betray anyone. But in the meantime, Shaw's living the high life and he's in way over his head. Soon he may find himself doing hard time-or worse-in a watery grave at the bottom of Bell Harbor.
