Show of Evil (Martin Vail, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 51 more book reviews


It's ten years since crack defense attorney Martin Vail saved (evil!) Aaron Stampler's life in court. Now Vail works for the other side, as the Chicago DA. The bodies are piling up and the MO sure looks like Stampler's work. But wait--Stampler remains safely behind bars at a psychiatric facility.

Installment two in this riviting series will suck you in, deprive you of sleep, and force you to read in the office restroom to find out who's doing what to whom. Diehl's expert plotting and engrossing style makes a long story all too short. But that's OK, since installment three is waiting for you when you finish this one.
