Very good legal thriller. The characters become so real. Patterson makes the characters members of the family. You can't help but feel the pain of the child. The emotions run deep. This book deals with child abuse so beware if this is a trigger for you...

This is another great book of Richard North Patterson's. Not as suspenseful as most of his others but still a wonderful read. Like many of his other books, a major piece of the plot is a sensitive subject. This time around it is child sexual abuse. Highly recommended.

This book was very well written the way the plot comes together. The development of the characters make them realistic and believable to the point that you may begin to see through the eyes of a child.

This is a very engrossing story of a suicide/murder? and an excellently crafted trial. The defendant is a wealthy, successful lawyer with political aspirations. His political opponents take advantage of the case to smear him, his son and his fianceé. It was difficult to put this book down.

When Ricardo Arias is found dead with a gun in his mouth, it looks like a suicide but other evidence strongly suggests murder. Arias was involved in a bitter custody battle with his estranged wife, Terri Peralta, over their six-year-old daughter, Elena, whom Arias believed was being abused. Prominent San Francisco defense attorney Christopher Paget is charged with Arias` murder; it`s Paget`s son who is accused of abusing Elena, Paget`s own political ambitions that would be damaged, and his alibi that is dangerously threadbare.

And the shocking revelations that threaten to explode in the courtroom may remain hidden forever...by Chris Paget's refusal to testify on his own behalf...by Elena's tangled loyalties...and by dark secrets that some desperately wish to keep silent...
