A man comes to Ben Kincaid's law office to ask questions about the legailities if he should happen to commit a murder. Needless to say, Ben tells him that he should not murder anyone under any circumstances. He worries about the conversation all night only to wake the next morning and find out that a murder has been committed and his client is being held. Dennis Thomas claims that his wife was missing for seven days. He pleaded daily with the police to begin a missing persons' investigation but they refused. Finally, his wife is found but she has had such serious injuries left unattended for so long that she dies in his arms. Dennis Thomas has sought justice for his wife by finding the policeman who refused to search for her.
Ben Kincaid has to be one of my favorite lawyers. This probably wasn't the strongest books in the series. Dennis Thomas makes it hard to like him much. He is too cocky and the reader, along with Ben and Christina, are taken aback by his attitude. Still, the story was engaging enough to keep the reader hanging on till the end to find out if Thomas was the murderer or if there is more going on. We also are afraid that the answers may come too late for Thomas after all.
Rating - 4 stars
