Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

Daniel Ames is an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious law firm, earning more money than he ever imagined possible.

When a charismatic civil litigator sues the firm's biggest client for manufacturing a drug that he claims causes unspeakable birth defects, Daniel is certain the claim has no merit. But as he begins to investigate, his world comes tumbling down around him. His work is sabotaged, he's accused of professional incompetence, and he's fired. Twelve hours later he is arrested for murder.

Daniel scrambles to clear his name and save his reputation - and in the process unearths a trail of deceit. But someone doesn't want this trail explored, and Daniel becomes the target of a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from being revealed.

Margolin has some pretty nifty plots and this is sure one of them. Dan Ames is an associate in a big Portland law firm - his dream job and he loses it because he volunteered to help and got scapgoated. But, that's just the beginning of this tale of murder and law suits and murder and who's doing what to whom. It sometimes gets a little too tricky but is, overall, a good ride. ( )

The Chicago Tribune summed up this book accurately and succinctly: "Twisted and brilliant." Margolin seems to have knack just about when a reader thinks they have the plot figured out, it takes a huge twist. One does need some means of keeping track of all the characters, and this one was especially hard with the scene shifting half through and another mystery developing. ( )

Excellent read. I haven't read anything else by Margolin but I am impressed with this book. ( )

Good story. The romance was a little lame, but the main character was likeable enough. ( )
