When forty-year-old cop Winnie Farlowe lost hisnbsp;nbsp;shield, he lost the only protection he had. Evernbsp;nbsp;since, he's been fighting a bad back, fighting thenbsp;nbsp;bottle, fighting his conscience. But now he's innbsp;nbsp;for a special fight. Never before has he come upnbsp;nbsp;against anyone like Tess Binder. She's anbsp;nbsp;stunningly beautiful, sexually spirited three-timenbsp;nbsp;divorcee from Newport Beach--capital of California'snbsp;nbsp;Golden Orange, where wallets are fat, bikinis arenbsp;nbsp;skimpy, and cosmetic surgery is one sure way to anbsp;nbsp;billionaire's bank account. Nearly a year ago Tessnbsp;nbsp;Binder's father washed up on the beach with a bulletnbsp;nbsp;in his ear. The coroner called it suicide, but tonbsp;nbsp;Tess it means the fear of her own fate. Andnbsp;nbsp;Winnie Farlowe is a man willing to follow wherever shenbsp;nbsp;leads--straight into the juicy pulp of the Goldennbsp;nbsp;Orange, a world where money is everything, butnbsp;nbsp;nothing adds up . . . where death and chicanerynbsp;nbsp;flourish amidst ranches, mansions, and yachtingnbsp;nbsp;parties. In his long-awaited new novel, best-sellingnbsp;nbsp;author Joseph Wambaugh combines harrowing suspense,nbsp;nbsp;scathing humor, and a moving portrait of a man onnbsp;nbsp;the brink ofnbsp;nbsp;self-destruction.
