Description: Stone Barrington, ex-cop turned lawyer and investigator, is hired by an internet tycoon to find a beautiful woman who has slipped through his fingers. Stone finds her in Palm Beach and is shocked to discover that she is none other than Allison Manning, the woman Stone tried to save from a death sentence on the Carribean island of St. Marks in Dead in the Water ('97). Stone thought she had been hanged, but she is alive and well -- and suddenly very rich. Allison asks Stone a favor: can he negotiate her return payment of a portion of the $12 million insurance windfall she collected for the death of her husband Paul Manning (who was thought to have died at the outset of Dead in the Water)? But more importantly, can he help her pay off Manning, whom Allison now fears is alive and stalking her to collect his share of the treasure? Stone and Dino, his ex-partner and an NYPD detective, wade through the glitz and glamour of Palm Beach -- full of palatial yachts, Gulfstream jets and Italianate villas -- in their hunt for the elusive and dangerous Paul Manning. But will they find him, a man of more than one disguise, before he finds Allison? And if they don't, will Manning walk away with millions -- and murder?
