Stone rescues a man who is being beaten and kicked. The man becomes a client, a very wealthy client. As Stone later learns, Russians purchased the man's company, but not the patents, an oversight.
From there, Stone becomes involved in a dangerous corporate takeover.
During the corporate dealings, Stone becomes even more fabulously wealthy, which is just insane.
The conversations between Dino and Stone are becoming more and more silly.
Series almost at an end! ( )

Apparently, I'll be the one of the first to review this book when I finish it. Much improved over the past few Stone Barrington novels. In this one, the Russian mob attempts to destroy Stone and his client. I found the dialogue corny, as always. Do rich people all speak like this narrator? While Stone is definitely following in his bedroom tryst ways, there is a bit of a hint at developing the relationship with Holly Barker in a different direction than previously expected. A quick, easy read that’s definitely fun, with suspended belief about the real world. ( )
