Fantastic! As good as Grisham any day. I could not put it down. The characters are larger than life and, at the same time, believable. The writing is exciting and the violent scenes ,while graphic, are not gratuitous. A really great book.

A former prosecuter on the rise, Tom Redmon is today a low-rent attorney mired in unwinnable cases and an alcoholic haze. No one believes him except his daughter, Jane, a Washington Post reporter, and his one friend, reformed biker and P.I. Mike Tubbs. Then suddenly Redmon gets the ultimate wake-up call: his daughter is gone- kidnapped. Jumping into his old pickup with Tubbs, Redmon burns rubber on a frantic search that will take him into the labyrinth that is Washington... and dangerously close to the line that separates right from wrong. There's no time for mistakes: as and ex-cop, knows that victims have only 2 days to be rescued before they're found dead.

Now, a fearless Washington Post reporter digging into a corruption case, she discovers the truth: Twenty years ago, before he became a senator, a yound Michael Gleason ruined the career and life of her father, Tom, a public prosecutor on the rise.
Today Tom Redmon has bottomed out as a low-rent attorney living in an alcoholic fog and a crumbling house overlooking a lake.
Then Jane disappears.
Redmon sets out to find Jane, and discovers that she was last seen following a handsome attorney with sharp green eyes who promised secret files filled with the stuff Pulitzers are made of.

The tail becomes twisted as he travels 500 miles north, to a remote island in New York State where Jane has either fallen in love or is about to lose her life.
Another one of my favorite authors.
