Lescroart (
Damage; Betrayal) returns to familiar but popular ground with his latest San Francisco-set thriller. When the cruel and politically connected rapist of defense attorney Dismas Hardy's niece is killed, Hardy takes the case to defend his off-the-wagon brother-in-law, Moses McGuire, of the man's murder. As Hardy gets to work on the thorny task of defense, secrets are revealed and the story gets really interesting. The plot is complex and at times exciting. The narration by noted reader David Colacci is solid in its cadence and with his use of accents.
VERDICT Recommended for fiction collections, especially where previous titles in the series have been popular. [The Atria: S. & S. hc was a New York Times best seller.—Ed.]
