Poison: A Gripping Legal Thriller by John Lescroart
From bestselling author John Lescroart comes Poison, a razor-sharp legal thriller that pulls attorney Dismas Hardy back into the courtroom for one of his most dangerous cases yet. Lescroart, whose prose "matches the best of John Grisham and Scott Turow" according to Providence Journal, delivers a masterfully plotted mystery filled with betrayal, blackmail, and murder.
The Case That Won't Let Go
Finally recovered from two gunshot wounds and looking forward to retirement, Dismas Hardy finds himself drawn back into the legal arena when Grant Wagner, the steely owner of a successful family business, is murdered. The prime suspect is Wagner's bookkeeper Abby Jarvis, a former client of Hardy's who had been receiving large cash payments under-the-table from the company. Despite the damning evidence, she insists on her innocence.
A Family of Suspects
As Hardy prepares for trial, his investigation into the Wagner clan uncovers a web of dark secrets. Jealous siblings, gold-digging girlfriends, betrayals, and blackmail surface at every turn. Each family member had motive, means, and opportunity. The closer Hardy gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that someone has painted a target on his back.
Masterful Crime Fiction
With whip-smart plotting and razor-sharp dialogue, Poison showcases why Lescroart is considered "a master craftsman" by the Associated Press. This installment in the Dismas Hardy series combines the courtroom intensity of John Grisham with intricate character development and San Francisco atmosphere that fans have come to expect from this acclaimed author.
