From Robert Dugoni, #1 Kindle bestselling author of MY SISTER’S GRAVE, comes a tale of corporate greed, espionage, and the lengths one good man will go to in the name of justice.
Attorney David Sloane’s reputation as an unbeatable lawyer continues to rise, thanks to his latest big win in a medical malpractice case. But at the end of the trial, toy designer Kyle Horgan tells Sloane that the verdict was wrong: Horgan claims that he—and not the doctor Sloane has just proven guilty—is the one responsible for the little boy’s death—and possibly many more.
Though Sloane knows he did his job well, something about this case never did quite add up in his mind. That inkling of doubt forces him to give Horgan’s declaration some consideration. But when Sloane visits Horgan’s apartment to follow-up, he finds it ripped apart, with Horgan nowhere to be found. Sloane and his longtime friend and investigative partner, Charles Jenkins, decide to reopen the evidence in the boy’s death, research Horgan’s claims, and get to the bottom of the toy industry’s dirty secrets. But the closer Sloane gets to a truth worth billions, the more incentive there is for someone to use any means necessary to keep him from finding it...
With action in spades and top-form courtroom scenes, Dugoni cements his status as the heir to Grisham’s literary throne.
