Summary
In this fourth novel starring Billy Bob Holland, the ex-Texas Ranger turned attorney, he must defend himself against threats both personal and professional. Billy Bob and his PI wife Temple had hoped that they'd seen the last of Wyatt Dixon, the insane rodeo clown who buried Temple alive in the previous novel, BITTERROOT. Unfortunately, he's been sprung on a technicality and is in town. Meanwhile, Billy Bob gains a new client, a somewhat loopy, alcoholic Native American activist entangled in a complex political and financial conspiracy.

Ties That Bind
by Phillip Margolin
Success is fleeting; nobody knows this better than lawyer Amanda Jaffe, She had been the undisputed rising star of Portland's legal community, but in a cruel twist of irony, the same case that put her on the map -- the Cardoni trial, which pitted Amanda against a brilliant sociopath (in the New York Times bestseller Wild Justice ) -- had left her traumatized, doubting her instincts, and shunning the limelight. This reticence ends when Amanda agrees to handle the case no one else will touch. Jon Dupre, who runs an upscale call-girl service, is accused of murdering a U.S. senator. Dupre claims to possess proof of the existence of a secret society of powerful men who have banded together for a commonly held political agenda. The rite of passage that binds them together -- the initiation into this powerful brotherhood -- is murder. To Amanda these seem the desperate claims of a man who will lie to save his own skin -- until she is pressured to walk away from the case. Determined to put a knife in the heart of the fear and psychological trauma that has plagued her ever since Cardoni, she refuses to abandon her investigation. It's a decision that will place her and those she loves directly in the path of a deadly juggernaut with ambitions that extend all the way to the presidency of the United States.
