from book cover:

When forty year old cop Winnie Farlowe lost his shield, he lost the only protection he had. Ever since, he's been fighting a bad back, fighting the bottle, fighting his conscience. But now he's in for a special fight. Never before has he come up against anyone like Tess Binder. She's a stunningly beautiful, sexually spirited three-time divorcee from Newport Beach--capitol of California's Gold Orange, where wallets are fat, bikini's are skimpy and cosmetic surgery is one sure way to a bilionaire's bank account.

Nearly a year ago Tess Binder's father washed up on the beach with a bullet in his ear. The coroner called it suicide, bu to Tess it means the fear of her own fate. And Winnie Farlowe is a man willing to follow her whereever she leads--straight in to the juicy pulp of the Golden Orange, a world where money is everything, but nothing adds up..where death and chicanery flourish amidst ranches, mansions, and yachting parties.

A story combining harrowing suspense, scathing humor and a moving portrait of a man on the brink of self-destruction..
