All Victor Carl knows is that he’s just woken up with his suit in tatters, his socks missing, and a stinging pain in his chest thanks to a new tattoo he doesn’t remember getting: a heart inscribed with the name Chantal Adair.
Is Chantal Adair the love of Victor’s life or a terrible drunken mistake? Victor intends to find out, but right now he’s got bigger concerns. His client, a wanted man, needs to come in out of the cold, and he’s got a stolen painting for Victor to use as leverage.
"This fun legal thriller may have more show than substance, but is no less entertaining because of it." - Publishers Weekly.
"Victor does dry and witty well enough to earn him a place among picaresque heroes, but whatever happened to taut and tight?" - Kirkus Reviews.
