About the Author:
From the bestselling author of THE FINAL PROCEDURE* and A SLOW BURNING comes a bold new thriller set in the no-holds-barred world of oil exploration where a man can make his fortune—or lose his life...
Spin Patterson is a Texas Golden Boy with an oil company he’s inherited from his father-in-law and built into a multi-billion dollar goliath. But when Spin’s wife, Audrey, learns about an extramarital affair, she files for divorce and threatens to sue him for everything he’s worth.
“High-stakes vengeance and...action will keep readers turning the pages.”—Publishers Weekly
Now, Spin must do whatever it takes to protect his empire. The levels of fraud, manipulation, and violence that Spin finds himself willing to use surprise everyone—his family, his faithful business associates, and, most of all, himself.
