Douglas Rigby, attorney-at-law, is bankrupt. Heâs just sunk his last $200,000âa clandestine âloanâ from his last
remaining client, former bigshot TV exec Glenn Haskillâinto a cocaine deal gone wrong. The lesson? Never trust
anyone else with the dirty work. Desperate to get back on top, Rigby formulates an art forgery scheme involving one
of Glennâs priceless paintings, a victimless crime. But for Rigby to pull this one off, heâll need to negotiate a whole cast
of players with their own agendas, including his wife, his girlfriend, an embittered art forger, Glennâs resentful nurse,
and the manâs money-hungry nephew. One misstep, and it all falls apartâwill he be able to save his skin?
Written with hard-knock sensibility and wicked humor, Scott Phillipsâs newest novel will cement him as one of the
great crime writers of the 21st century.
