Plot summary

When Myron's client, former tennis star Suzze T, and her rock star husband, Lex Ryder, encounter an anonymous Facebook post questioning the paternity of their unborn child, Lex runs off. Suzze – at eight months pregnant – asks Myron to save her marriage, and perhaps her husband's life. But when he finds Lex, he also finds someone he wasn't looking for: his sister-in-law, Kitty, who along with Myron's brother abandoned the Bolitar family long ago. Following Suzze's apparent suicide, Myron and Win find a connection between Lex, the notorious Ache brothers, and the reclusive Gabriel Wire, the more famous half (with Lex) of the top-selling rock duo HorsePower. As Myron races to locate his missing brother while their father clings to life, he must face the lies that led to the estrangement – including the ones told by Myron himself.
