Lynn Montgomery weaves a fascinating tale: For three years, the Feds have tried to make a case against William Manchester, a well-known mafia-connected arms dealer, and have made no headway. In three weeks, Blair Sandburg has miraculously managed to wind his way through twisty and devious paper trails and dummy corporations to locate several properties where Manchester was storing guns--just after Manchester moved them. How could he have possibly gotten so far without getting inside information from Manchester or someone in his organization? Is Blair dirty? The Feds certainly think so. And when Jim discovers a letter from Blair at a raid on one of Manchester's warehouses, he doesn't know what to think. Armed with this new 'evidence,' the Feds are determined to prove that Blair is a plant for Manchester, that he's been feeding the mobster information about raids and police movements from the start. Blair is at a loss to explain how Manchester got his letter...and even Jim and the detectives at Major Crimes are looking at him askance. On top of this horrible situation, Blair receives a devastating emotional blow from which he might never recover -- one which might completely destroy his life. [1]
Positively wonderful. One of those stories that you can *see* happening in your mind. [2]
