John Lescroart--the master of the legal thriller (Chicago Sun-Times)--is back in action, marshaling his witty dialogue and airtight plotting in this electrifying thriller featuring attorney Dismas Hardy as he grapples with his longtime, trusted assistant being charged as an accessory to murder. Dismas Hardy knows something is amiss with his trusted secretary, Phyllis. Always reliable and consistent, she's been behaving out of character and disappearing without notice. Dismas becomes even more concerned when he discovers that Phyllis has been reluctantly playing host to her convict brother, a man just released from San Quentin after serving a twenty-five-year sentence for armed robbery and attempted murder. Things take a shocking turn with Phyllis is suddenly arrested at work, accused of being an accessory to the murder of Hector Valdez, a coyote who'd been smuggling women into the country from El Salvador and Mexico. That is, until recently, when he was shot to death--on the very same day that Phyllis started disappearing from work. The connection between Phyllis, her brother, and Hector's murder is not something Dismas can easily understand, but if his treasured colleague has any chance of going free, he needs to put all the pieces together--and fast.
