Never Scot-Free: A Stone Ayers Novel

After a complicated, but successful mission to Antarctica, Stone Ayers spends two glorious weeks skiing the Alps with his beautiful new girlfriend, Gudrun, a naturalist whom he met on the ship. When he returns to San Francisco, the boss, Dominic Balducci, has a new challenge for him. It may be that his brother-in-law, Peter, who is also Stone’s friend is stealing from him. If he is, the consequences will be dire and it may fall on Stone to put Peter down. Killing strangers is one thing, but killing a friend? Stone doesn’t like that idea at all. His first task though, is to discover the truth and the process leads him down a tortuous path of deceit and violence, testing him in ways he’s not been tested before. Never Scot-Free is the second of the Stone Ayers Novels, with more to follow. Set in the City by the Bay, it explores Stone’s relationship with Dominic and his family, and his evolving connection with Gudrun, a connection complicated by his need to keep from her the truth about what he does for Dominic.
