Description
LAWRENCE DE MARIA'S ACCLAIMED THRILLERS AND MYSTERIES HAVE "A TOUCH OF BOURNE, A DASH OF BOND AND A SPRIG OF SPENSER". (John Crudele, the New York Post)
Alton Rhode is recently back from military duty, recovering from wounds, when a beautiful woman asks him to find the bank-embezzler lover who fathered her daughter and disappeared 14 years earlier.
The man, she says, does not know about his child but his bone marrow may hold the key to saving her life.
Rhode, whose private investigation business withered when his reserve unit was called up, takes the case, although it seems hopeless. If the F.B.I. can’t find the father, how can he?
That turns out to be the least of Rhode’s problems, as he almost immediately becomes the target of a deranged mobster. He only survives because a mysterious guardian angel – with an automatic pistol – is watching his back.
It soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems. Bodies pile up as Rhode’s search takes him from a college campus to a nursing home to a Florida orange grove.
And, finally, to a revelation he never sees coming.

“While De Maria may have been an award-winning financial reporter, he's an awfully good fiction writer as well.†(THE NAPLES DAILY NEWS)
“What is really almost beyond belief is how easily De Maria has transitioned from the dry world of financial reporting to the wild and lavish world of novel writing.†(THE COLLIER CITIZEN)
De Maria is “a master of thriller dialogue.†(THE WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF BOOKS)
