Beach Road by James Patterson
Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in East Hampton, summer home to billionaires and Hollywood celebrities. But his clients are the people he grew up with, the people who make a living serving the rich. When an old friend, Dante Halleyville, is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star's mansion, Tom agrees to represent him, and recruits super lawyer, and ex-girlfriend, Kate Costello to help fight the case. As Tom wonders if he can ever get Kate to forgive him for his past sins, the case takes on astonishing dimensions, revealing a world of illegal pleasures, revenge, and fear amongst the super-rich...'The novel has a rich characterisation often absent in legal potboilers... Anyone who likes to relax with a Grisham novel will enjoy this superior story' * The Times *
'Patterson writes with whiplash precision in this relentless page turner. The cut-to-the-bone storyline is delivered in snappy three page chapters that resonate with cinematic efficiency...a slick, punchy thriller.' * Western Australian *
'It certainly is a brilliant ending. Once again, Patterson delivers another fast-paced thriller. A fine example of a master at work.' * www.crimesquad.com *
'A clever and powerful mystery-thriller.' * Daily Telegraph (Australia) *
