Douglas Rigby, attorney-at-law, is bankrupt. Heās just sunk his last $200,000āa clandestine āloanā from his last
remaining client, former bigshot TV exec Glenn Haskillāinto 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 Glennās priceless paintings, a victimless crime. But for Rigby to pull this one off, heāll need to negotiate a whole cast
of players with their own agendas, including his wife, his girlfriend, an embittered art forger, Glennās resentful nurse,
and the manās money-hungry nephew. One misstep, and it all falls apartāwill he be able to save his skin?
Written with hard-knock sensibility and wicked humor, Scott Phillipsās newest novel will cement him as one of the
great crime writers of the 21st century.
