Near Miss

Stone Barrington intends to enjoy some downtime in New York but is pulled back into danger after meeting a charismatic companion whose vindictive ex sparks a series of violent incidents. What begins as personal trouble soon reveals a deeper, more calculated threat linked to long-standing grudges and familiar adversaries.

Stone must rely on sharp instincts, old allies, and careful strategy to stay ahead as the stakes rise and hidden motives come to light. The narrative moves through urban settings, tense confrontations, and clever maneuvering that gradually tighten the noose around the characters involved.

Recommended for readers of contemporary crime and suspense fiction, Near Miss blends character-driven plotting with brisk action and series continuity.
