It appears that the killer is in custody. But, then we find out that the attorney was the love child of series regular, Homicide Detective Art Gilsky. And the killer is the brother of a good friend of the other series regular, defense attorney Dismis Hardy. I like these characters a lot and have enjoyed all the other Hardy/Gilsky books. This one started off fairly slowly but about a third of the way in, I was totally hooked. As mentioned after reading, Nothing But the Truth, John Lescroart's series with Dismas Hardy, wife Frannie, friend and Head Homicide Detective Abe Glitsky, and brother-in-law (Frannie's brother) Moses McGuire, are characters that the reader comes to know more intimately than in some legal thrillers. I knew I had the next novel in the series on my "to read" pile and couldn't resist spending more time with all the series characters. This novel definitely becomes one of my favorites of the series. The headliner relationship in this novel features the friendship of Dismas and Abe. We learn more about Abe's sons and a relationship that he has kept secret. As family dynamics are explored when a carefully protected secret is exposed to family and friends. The legal thriller aspect takes us back to the court room with Dismas trying to protect a young man's life - guilty or not guilty - he doesn't deserve the death penalty or does he? Is the D.A.'s office so interested in the next election that they'll prosecute for a wrongful conviction? Is Abe as Head Homicide Detective so guilty over his silence in keeping a special and personal relationship a secret that he has created the opportunity for a wrongful confession? Can Dismas defend a client in the court room each day with so many unanswered questions about the night of the murder? Without a doubt, don't miss #7 in the series! This series can be read out of order or as single stand-alone titles but knowing the history between the major characters definitely adds to the reading pleasure and treasure chest of John Lescroart's writing. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Hardy's best friend, Lieutenant Abe Glitsky, has kept a secret from him...and everyone else. Hardy never knew that Abe had a daughter-until she was shot dead. It seems obvious that the heroin addict hovering over her body with a gun is the guilty party, and Glitsky has few qualms about sweating a confession out of him. But there is more to this murder-much more. And as both Hardy and Glitsky risk their lives to uncover the truth, others are working hard to stop them. No library descriptions found. |

There's a nice sprinkling of good humor throughout, and I like the interactions between the two main characters, Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky. I suspect John Lescroart likes to joke around, and he seems to have a good sense of humor.
This was the audiobook version, and as usual, the narrator did a good job. ( )
