    Dismas Hardy agrees to take an appeal to overturn the murder conviction of National Guard reservist Evan Scholler.

Evan returns home to discover Ron has taken up with his ex girlfriend. An altercation ensues and Ron is found dead. Evan has no recollection of the event but is found guilty at trial. When Charlie Bowan, the solicitor handling the appeal goes missing Dismas Hardy inherits the case. When Charlies wife commits suicide, Dismas endeavours to solve the crime and have Evan released from jail.Entertaining
    • 4/5
      A new approach to the Dismas Hardy - Abe Glitzky series, more than one half of the book does not involve the two characters but instead establishes the story of a soldier in Iraq and back in the Bay area.As with all of Lescroart's books, this proved a fast and entertaining read.
    • 3/5
      I keep listening to Lescroart, trying to find another book in the series as good as The Motive. The back story for the book was just so-so, but I liked the Glitsky/Hardy part. There was too much of the back story and not enough of the odd duo. Took me a few tries to get into it.
    • 4/5
      An interesting change, without changing too much: Lescroat concentrates on the stories of the people who will eventually be defended by Dismas Hardy. In other words, it centers around new characters without leaving the familiar characters out completely.The comments on the war in Iraq struck me as biased, as can be expected from a San Franciscan.
    • 5/5
      Great story told a little differently. Great back story to set the scene.
