Under the tutelage of Stone Barrington, Herbie Fisher has transformed from a bumbling sad sack into the youngest partner at the white-shoe law firm Woodman & Weld. But in this series debut by veteran crime writers Stuart Woods and the late Parnell Hall, even Fisher's newly won composure and finely honed skills can't prepare him for the strange escapade he's unwittingly pulled into, and which has put him at the center of a bull's-eye. In the city that never sleeps, there are always devious schemes afoot, and Herbie will have to be quick on his feet to stay one step ahead of his newfound enemies who are closing in.
