Deal with the Dead

“Artfully crafted, ingeniously layered noir fiction . . . proving once more that [Standiford] is a master of crime fiction.” —Publishers Weekly Life looks good for John Deal. A new contract promises to put the family building business in the black and restore its reputation, tarnished by the suicide of John's father. Getting out from under Barton Deal’s shady past is tough. The new contract is linked to old ties—like the multi-million-dollar pact Barton made with Miami mobster Lucky Rhodes decades ago. Now both men are gone, the money has vanished, and Lucky’s son wants it back. John Deal is about to discover just how deep blood ties can cut . . . “The action is nonstop, the setting of volatile South Florida from the 1950s to the present is fascinating, and the characterization of a man forced to defend what he loves because of the greed of others is compelling.” —Booklist “An essential addition to the [John Deal] series.” —Miami Herald
