Amazon.com Even though the excellent thrillers by John Lescroart--The 13th Juror， A Certain Justice， Dead Irish， and Hard Evidence are out in paperback--usually feature stirring courtroom scenes， where they really shine is out in the real world. His latest is no exception， as Mark Dooher， a high-profile attorney with links to the Catholic hierarchy of San Francisco， is charged with the brutal murder of the wife he had come to hate. Did Dooher do her? Lt. Abe Glitsky， whose own beloved wife is dying of cancer， is sure of it， but defense attorneys Wes Farrell and Christina Carrera--for different but equally hidden reasons--are certain he's being framed. You'll enjoy the tension and appreciate the intricate plotting. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Mark Dooher has a successful legal career， a long-lasting marriage， charm， good looks， and money; but when he meets young， beautiful law student Christina Carrera， he wants her， too. The author of A Certain Justice (LJ 7/95) has Mark manage， through a series of devious manipulations， to rid Christina of her fiance， get her a job at his firm， and make her fall in love with him. But there is the troublesome matter of his wife， whom he cannot divorce because of his important professional relationship with the city's archbishop. Then his wife turns up conveniently murdered， and the resulting trial could turn out to be Mark's greatest challenge yet. This original， well-crafted page-turner is blockbuster material. Highly recommended.-?Melissa Kuzma Rokicki， NYPLCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. See all Editorial Reviews
