Leviathan & the Lambs is the third and final book in the Arthur Stone series. A complex financial crisis once again impacts Arthur Stone, his family, and his friends. In this case, greed, excessive lending, risk-taking, and economic manipulation are hurting not just Texas but the entire nation. As always, when the stakes are high, some people turn to violence. Arthur now faces his most dangerous enemy yet—one of the most powerful men on earth and his companies. Leviathan & the Lambs covers the period from the start of the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-8 to the end of the lawsuits that followed a few years later. Arthur Stone is now the Attorney General of Texas. His oldest child has finished college and is working in New York City. A friend dies under mysterious circumstances. When Arthur, Gwynn, and their son attend the funeral, he meets the family of the young man who asked him to look into the matter. Is this Arthur Stone's final case? Now in late middle age and tired of public life, he faces what seems to be a hopeless situation. He hopes to restore his family, but fate intervenes. As the story unfolds, not only is Arthur's life in jeopardy, but his family and friends are also affected. Fortunately, Gwynn, his closest advisor, along with friends and colleagues from the past, comes to his rescue. As always, in the background, spiritual forces are at work in the lives of people as far apart as Crete, Israel, Mexico, Scotland, and Vietnam. Spiritual forces of light and darkness are gathering in anticipation of conflict. What is on the surface just another mystery may involve bigger issues.
