One-Way Ticket (Brady Coyne Series #23) Book

Boston attorney Brady Coyne has a generally placid life with a nice house, a stable relationship, and the occasional fishing trip with old friends. But one balmy June evening that quiet life begins to fall apart after Brady receives a frantic call from the son of his friend and client Dalton Lancaster. Dalt is in the emergency room, having been severely beaten by a group of thugs who warned him that he has a week to pay off his debt. Even worse, the message seems to have come from Paulie Russo, the head of the Boston mob. It turns out that it isn't actually Dalt's debt, but his son Robert's, who seems to have inherited his father's gambling addiction. When Brady tries to intercede for the family, Russo's goons let him know he is holding Brady responsible for his client's obligation. Then Robert disappears and no one seems to know whether he's fled for his life or been murdered - until the ransom demand arrives.

With his personal life undergoing its own drastic upheaval, Brady is trying to rescue Robert, and himself, from a rapidly escalating situation before it becomes deadly for all concerned.
