Brilliant. A debut novel that weaves together many divergent story lines. Got me from the first page.
Good story.
First book for Ed Gaffney. He is also Suzanne Brockmann's husband. Great first book.
Good legal thriller with a political twist. I enjoyed it.
In a New England courtroom, two young defense lawyers face a trial they cannot win. For attorneys Zack Wilson and Terry Tallach, partners and best friends, it seems an open-and-shut case. Their client confessed to a horrific multiple homicideand Zack and Terry have only one hope: to spare him from the death penalty. But even that is a long shotuntil the case takes a sudden, strange turn.
The two lawyers may have stumbled on a loophole: their client had a secret motive for his indefensible acta motive that might even free him if Zack and Terry can pull off an ingenious defense.
But as the media descend on a quiet Massachusetts town, and as Zack and Terry fight to save their clients life, a surprise witness turns the trial into something no one could have predicted. Because only he can put all the pieces of an astounding puzzle togetherand expose a conspiracy that is more shocking, far-reaching, and treacherous than anyone could guess.
