OverviewIn this, the fourth installment in the Sam Acquillo series, Sam's past reaches out to pull him back into the world of big money and even bigger egos, where the term corporate intrigue is redundant and ambition the only virtue. It seems a woman vital to the private life of a very important person has gone missing in the Hamptons. And it looks like the best way to get her back is to extort the cooperation of Sam Acquillo. After finally achieving some measure of peace and contentment on Long Island, Sam is yet again an accidental player in other people's dramas. It takes him into the world of private security goons, predatory financiers and lifestyles of young hedonists, some brave, some beautiful, all a bit lost. This time Sam has a few ambitions of his own that lead him into something all his battles in the ring and corporate boardrooms could never have prepared him for.

Table of ContentsReviewsPraise for Chris Knopf: <br> Whip-smart, snappy dialogue and intriguing characters, particularly smart women who handily skirt cliche. Knopf is also a dab hand at describing settings and characters. -- The Boston Globe <br> Knopf excels in describing the rustic underpinnings of Long Island's east end, especially its vast array of eccentric characters. Brisk pacing and sharp dialogue carry the reader along, but it's the endearing and deeply flawed Acquillo that's the heart and soul of this exceptional series. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review for Head Wounds) Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
