Flesh Wound

Max Chandler is an ex-homicide detective trying to figure out how to rebuild his life after getting shot in the shoulder during an armed robbery he stumbled into when off duty. His shoulder healed - but the incident cost him his marriage, his job, and custody of his four-year-old daughter, Sam. Then a simple fender bender on the freeway thrusts Max into the world of Faye Monterey, a high-priced fetish call girl catering to the most powerful men and women in the country. Faye's world forces Max to decide what is right and wrong, and when the US Government calls on Faye to "session" with a foreign diplomat, the stakes of the game become not only Max and Faye's freedom, relationship, and custody of his daughter, but the very survival of the US economy. Foreign diplomats, State Department field agents, the female CEO of the biggest bank in the country, and the owner of a mega-successful gentlemen's club play key roles in taking Max into the secret world of fetishism, desires kept hidden, and the games played by the rich and powerful - and fantasized about by everyone.
