NEW YORK CITY, AUGUST 1977. THE BLACKOUT IS OVER. THE DARKNESS REMAINS.
Three weeks after the city-shattering blackout that unleashed a night of riots and mayhem, former Green Beret Will Kane is trying to keep his head down. Working as a private investigator for attorney Toni Marcelle, he's supposed to be providing simple security on a yacht cruise in New York Harbor.
Instead, Kane finds himself in a firefight with unknown attackers who leave behind a mysterious bomb-and too many questions. Who wanted Texas oil millionaire Crawford dead? Why was cocaine involved? And what connects this attack to the shadowy events during the blackout three weeks earlier?
As Kane digs deeper, the violence escalates. From the polluted waters of the Hudson to the abandoned West Side Highway where homeless veterans struggle to survive, Kane navigates a city on the edge of collapse. The Son of Sam killer still prowls the streets. Organized crime is making power plays. And someone wants Kane dead.
Haunted by memories of Hill 875 in Vietnam-where he earned his scars and lost too many men-Kane must use every skill from his Special Forces training to survive. But in a city where lawyers, guns, and money rule, the only question is: which one will kill you first?
LAWYERS, GUNS AND MONEY is the second explosive thriller in Bob Mayer's Will Kane series, plunging readers into the gritty, dangerous world of 1970s New York City. Perfect for fans of hard-boiled detective fiction, military thrillers, and noir mysteries set during one of the city's darkest eras.
