Publisher Description
Daniel Ames is an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious law firm, earning more money than he ever imagined possible.
When a charismatic civil litigator sues the firm's biggest client for manufacturing a drug that he claims causes unspeakable birth defects, Daniel is certain the claim has no merit. But as he begins to investigate, his world comes tumbling down around him. His work is sabotaged, he's accused of professional incompetence, and he's fired. Twelve hours later he is arrested for murder.
Daniel scrambles to clear his name and save his reputation -- and in the process unearths a trail of deceit. But someone doesn't want this trail explored, and Daniel becomes the target of a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from being revealed.

"Some very well developed characters, some just fluff. Figured out the mystery person, but not the new identity. Too many murders, cluttered up the story.2001Finished the book while on a bus riding thru OH and PA. "

" This is a great legal thriller. It was very well written and easy to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes John Grisham, or is looking for something new to read. "

" Pharmaceutical company sued over birth defects allegedly caused by one of their products. Young lawyer charged with murder. Floodgates open and murders abound as do suspects. Good story. "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 5 stars "
— Ron, 2/1/2014 -
" A pretty standard legal thriller, with a "nice guy" lawyer at the center of the action-that's how I knew it was fiction. An entertaining but ultimately unconvincing novel. "
— Roger, 1/26/2014 -
" This is a fabulous legal thriller with thrills, chills, romance, drama and action, for my final Phil Margolin read this year. This is an action-packed read for a few days. "
— Kristen, 1/17/2014 -
" A typically good read by Margolin, this time about a young lawyer newly hired by a prestigious law firm who is framed for a crime. Romantic developments plus the twists and turns of the plot yield an entertaining story. "
— Greer, 1/14/2014 -
" I was actually really impressed how this book played out. "
— Jennifer, 1/6/2014 -
" Overall basically a good book. I felt it got a bit confusing towards the middle, but it did resolve itself by the end. Not my favorite of Margolin's, but a good read none the less. "
— Roxanne, 12/27/2013 -
" I enjoyed this story and it was certainly worth the .49 I paid for it. Some of the story was predictable but it was still a good story. "
— Laurie, 12/26/2013 -
" Falls short. Stylistically standard and predictable. "
