A standalone thriller from master storyteller John Lescroart.
Influential San Francisco attorney Mark Dooher--affluent, powerful, totally in control--is accustomed to getting what he wants. When he meets a beautiful young attorney, he decides he wants her, too. But Mark Dooher is a married man, and as legal counsel for San Francisco's Archdiocese, divorce is not exactly an option.
Then Dooher's wife is murdered, and Mark becomes a suspect in the case. Even then, there's no cause for alarm. The woman he wants is close by his side. His best friend, the ever-loyal Wes Farrell, is his defense lawyer. And his own client, the Catholic Church, is in his pocket. Nothing--not past crimes, current scandal, or future desires--is going to stop him.
Except, perhaps, the truth.
