Description
Lawyer Herbie Fisher steps in at the last minute to defend what’s supposed to be an easy case — but his client says he’s innocent, and soon Herbie becomes embroiled in some unexpected trouble.
Under the tutelage of Stone Barrington, Herbie Fisher has transformed from a bumbling sad sack into a capable man about town and the youngest partner at the white-shoe law firm Woodman & Weld, and a man whose company is in high demand both because of his professional acumen and his savoir faire. But even his newly won composure and finely honed skills can’t prepare him for the strange escapade he’s unwittingly pulled into, and which—unbeknownst to him—has put him at the center of a bull’s-eye.
In the city that never sleeps there are always devious schemes afoot, and Herbie will have to be quick on his feet to stay one step ahead of his enemies…and they’re closing in. Now all of his training will be put to the test as he finds himself embroiled in his most daring adventure to date.
In the newest nonstop adventure from New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods, the protégé will become the hero as Herbie Fisher gets caught in a web of deceit, corruption, and greed. Now is the time of Herbie Fisher.
