New York cop-turned-lawyer Stone Barrington is living the high life when he gets made partner--earning him a seven-figure bonus--after bringing in a high-profile new client. But Barrington's celebrating is cut short when suspicions arise over the origins of his new client's wealth.

While enjoying dinner at Elaine's, attorney Stone Barrington is shocked when his boss arrives unannounced and hands him a check worth one million dollars. The money is from Stone's new client, who is connected to Stone's undercover dealing with the British MI6. But just as he accepts the case, he learns that his client might be behind an elaborate Ponzi scheme, the magnitude of which could destroy even Stone's decorated career.

Stone Barrington's undercover dealings with MI6 have brought in a big new client for the Woodman & Weld law firm, and the firm is willing to pay Stone a huge bonus and make him a partner. But a murder close to home and a request from the CIA to help transport a fugitive, Erwin Gelbhardt, from Spain to the U.S., bring him back to earth.
