One of the weaker ones, and my god some of the online reviews! They apparently liked it even less well than I did. Yet somehow it got a starred review from Publishers Weekly. The Booklist review is a bit more nuanced.

Stone gets involved with a brand-new Broadway star, and Dolce is being allowed to wander around Manhattan again (and hang out across the street from his home and office). He's also taken on a rescue-the-wayward-daughter project, which in the end he solves by having her shot gently (by an expert, with a .22); this both keeps her from getting too involved in the final fight, and makes the police view her more as a victim and be less inclined to investigate just how complicit she was in the drug trafficking.

Parts of it are interestingly plotted. I don't think we get to spend really enough time with some of the characters, I think it may be overloaded with women wanting time in Stone's bed, in particular.
