Description
Matt Royal is going back to the courtroom. He has agreed to defend his good friend and wife of Longboat Key s Police Chief. Abby Lester has been charged with the murder of Nate Bannister, an unlikeable, shady character. He was found shot to death in his downtown Sarasota condo and the evidence points to Abby as the killer.
Matt cannot refuse Abby s pleas for help, despite having retired from the practice of law several years earlier. Now, he must face a hotshot prosecuting attorney with a record of twenty-two wins and zero losses in murder trials. As he begins to investigate, Matt finds that nothing is what it seems. Police, politicians, academics, real estate moguls and other powerful forces are tied together in a cauldron of issues that Matt must untangle to get at the truth. Can he rekindle his legal skills and outwit the prosecution pitted against him? Matt knows he must, as the life of his friend hangs in the balance.
"Advance Praise
“A mixture of straight-ahead action and laid-back John D. MacDonald–style narrative (Matt is definitely a hero in the Travis McGee mold), this agreeable tale will be a treat for Griffin’s growing readership as well as Travis fans.”—Booklist
"Witty, smart and highly entertaining. An intriguing mix of hopes and fears that combine into a pulse-pounding treat."—Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of The King’s Deception
“Expect jaw-dropping revelations to make for an unforgettable climax. VERDICT Griffin’s eighth entry in his Florida mystery thriller series (after Fatal Decree) roars by in a flurry of high-octane encounters guaranteed to keep readers up all night. Heavy on dialog, like the best of buddy flicks.”—Library Journal
“This is an entertaining mystery with an intriguing plot, a vividly rendered southwest Florida location, and believable, likable characters, reminiscent of John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels, with a dash of Lee Child's Jack Reacher thrown in for good measure.”—Booklist
