Synopsis

Honey—a vivacious, wealthy, seventeen-year-old daughter of a politician—has a penchant for drug dealers, mad-dog bikers, booze, sex, crank, and guns. She’s run off with Cobra, the leader of a band of motorcycle-gang outcasts who have dubbed themselves the Outriders since they are too hotheaded and reckless for other rival gangs. But her father, who is running for the U.S. Senate, wants her back before she takes his career down in flames along with her hell-bent soul.Enter Scott Weiss and Jim Bishop, Andrew Klavan’s star private eyes from Dynamite Road. Weiss is a former cop who is an accomplished detective with a lot of connections. Bishop is a savvy, strong-willed tough guy and ladies’ man who does the legwork for Weiss’s agency. Bishop’s assignment: infiltrate the Outriders and seduce and steal Honey away from Cobra. But has Bishop finally met his match? Cobra is brilliant as well as bad—an oddly intellectual biker who is one step ahead of everyone on his trail. And Honey is not only rich and beautiful, she is hotter than the hinges of hell, irresistibly alluring, a black widow who draws the hardest, toughest, sharpest hustlers into her lethal web—where she consumes them whole.Bishop, falling for a woman like never before, is drawn into Honey’s web, and even with the diabolically clever Weiss in his corner—working with the cops, scheming with the politicians, pulling the strings, and calling the shots—Bishop may be going down.Has Bishop finally met his match? Is Honey too hot to handle?

Goodreads review by Mark

I like the Weiss & Bishop novels because the author has found a refreshing way to present the crime/detective story. Not an easy thing to do.

Goodreads review by Kent

**no change is this review from when I read the book in 2009: ** This is the second of the Weiss/Bishop series I gave it four stars, but it should get 3.5 stars.

Goodreads review by Kendall

Andrew Klavan may be that anomaly; a conservative novelists of thrillers. His characters are as sensual, as obsessed with sex as any in erotica, yet they are conflicted about it; they know its destructive and struggle with it. The good guys want to transcend it; the bad one to control or dominate it......more
