The Fourth Watch

A lawyer haunted by tragedy. A beautiful woman desperate for answers. A criminal conspiracy reaching across the globe. A powerful family destroyed by betrayal. Red Whorley was one of the richest men in Massachusetts. He was a popular and controversial figure, known as much for his big lifestyle and courthouse battles as for his exotic business and enormous charity. When he turned up dead in the pool on his lavish estate, the police determined that his death was an accidental drowning. That result was quickly challenged by Whorley's beautiful daughter, Carolyn, but the police and other family members dismissed her objections as the product of emotional loss, and the case was closed.

Through a mutual friend Carolyn is put in contact with Attorney Michael Knight. Knight is dealing with a deep personal tragedy of his own, but agrees to take the case hoping that, if he can confirm the police findings, it will help her deal with her grief. He soon realizes that the police investigation raises far more questions than it answers, and that nothing is what it seems.

To sort it all out Knight will have to travel a twisting trail through a layered world full of dark secrets and brutal players. The path will lead him back through time, to the jungles of Southeast Asia, to the violent streets of L.A.'s Chinatown, to the vast shipping ports of Long Beach and Seattle, and finally back to Worcester, Massachusetts, where a powerful network of corruption is controlled by men who will stop at nothing to keep a criminal empire safe. The Fourth Watch is a story of love and honor, greed and corruption, sex and murder, faith and redemption, that spans three decades, is relentlessly paced and will grip readers to its stunning conclusion.
