Wes Farrell has been elected to the position of District Attorney, a big step for a defense attorney with no political aspirations. On just his first day in office, things start to get crazy because a young man has been released from prison after serving for ten years for rape. When another woman who was connected with this last trial is found dead and the M.O. is the same, pressure is on to arrest him. The accused has a powerful family who owns one of San Fransisco's largest newspapers. They are accusing the D.A.'s office and Abe Glitzky of homicide of trying to frame their sons. When Abe's family is threatened and the wife of the former jury foreman is also found dead, the race is on to arrest the man before he harms anyone else.
I always enjoy John Lescroart's books and this is no exception. Wes Farrell has been featured in a couple of books but he was really in the spotlight here. I enjoyed him. Abe Glitzky is always a great character because he is so solemn but a very good man and a good cop. As always, I will be looking forward to the next book by this author!
