John Lescroart Dismis Hardy Series Books 1516 The Keeper The Fall - Dismas Hardy Series
Author: John Lescroart

THE KEEPER On the evening before Thanksgiving, Hal Chase, a guard in the San Francisco County Jail, drives to the airport to pick up his step-brother for the weekend. When they return, Hal?s wife, Katie, has disappeared without a clue. By the time Dismas Hardy hears about this, Katie has been missing for five days. The case strikes close to hom... more »e because Katie had been seeing Hardy?s wife, a marriage counselor. By this time, the original Missing Persons case has become a suspected homicide, and Hal is the prime suspect. And the lawyer he wants for his defense is none other than Hardy himself. Hardy calls on his friend, former homicide detective Abe Glitsky, to look into the case. At first it seems like the police might have it right; the Chases? marriage was fraught with problems; Hal?s alibi is suspect; the life insurance policy on Katie was huge. But Glitsky?s mission is to identify other possible suspects, and there proves to be no shortage of them: Patti Orosco?rich, beautiful, dangerous, and Hal?s former lover; the still unknown person who had a recent affair with Katie; even Hal?s own step-mother Ruth, resentful of Katie?s gatekeeping against her grandchildren. And as Glitsky probes further, he learns of an incident at the San Francisco jail, where Hal works?only one of many questionable inmate deaths that have taken place there. Then, when Katie?s body is found not three blocks from the Chase home, Homicide arrests Hal and he finds himself an inmate in the very jail where he used to work, a place full of secrets he knows all too well.Against this backdrop of conspiracy and corruption, ambiguous motives and suspicious alibis, an obsessed Glitsky closes in on the elusive truth. As other deaths begin to pile up he realizes, perhaps too late, that the next victim might be himself. THE FALL Late one night, a teenage African American foster child named Tanya Paulson plummets to her death from the overpass above San Francisco?s Stockton tunnel. But did she fall?or was she pushed? Rushing to produce a convictable suspect in the glare of the media spotlight, homicide inspectors focus their attention on a naïve young man named Greg Treadway. Greg is a middle school teacher and he volunteers as a Special Advocate for foster children. At first, the only thing connecting him to Tanya?s death is the fact that they shared a meal earlier that night. But soon enough, elements of that story seem to fall apart?and Hardy?s daughter, Rebecca, finds herself drawn into the young man?s defense.By the time Greg?s murder trial gets underway, Dismas and Rebecca have unearthed several other theories about the crime: a missing stepfather who?d sexually assaulted her; a roommate who ran a call girl service; a psychologically unstable birth mother; and a mysterious homeless man who may have had dealings with Tanya. Or Greg Treadway himself, who is perhaps not all that he first appeared. But how will they get these theories in front of a jury? And if they can, what price will they have to pay?
