Head Games

A man's body is found decapitated. Wrapped in plastic. Stuffed in the trunk of a Fleetwood Cadillac parked outside a federal courthouse. The car's owner: a sweet-natured con man who's on trial for mail fraud—but innocent of murder. Kansas City defense attorney Lou Mason has no idea how a corpse ended up in his client's car. But when the victim is identified as a criminal defendant in a sexually charged lawsuit, Mason is forced to team up with a woman from his past—a brilliant FBI agent who may be playing head games of her own. . .
