Defense attorney David Nash has made a career out of setting monsters free—and no one does it better. Now a case has come to “the Ice Man” that could help cleanse Nash of the guilt and doubts that torment him: that rarest of all defendants, an innocent man.
A family man, a rising star in the legal profession, this new client has been accused of a heinous crime—the brutal murder of an undercover vice cop. But the case that is supposed to be Nash’s redemption could prove to be his downfall, dragging him into a dark and sinister world where lies and the truth are interchangeable; where the manipulator becomes the manipulated, and every answer spawns more complex and terrifying questions. And as the shadows close in around him, the final question that remains for David Nash concerns his own fate: life…or death?

"Absolutely unbelievable. You keep thinking - this has to be fiction. There's no way that this miscarriage could happen in real life. It blew me away. " — George (5 out of 5 stars)
"Absolutely unbelievable. You keep thinking - this has to be fiction. There's no way that this miscarriage could happen in real life. It blew me away. "
" Real lawyers write good books! This book ultimately deals with the lawyer and the client confidentiality rule. When the client is cleared of all charges he confesses to his lawyer. So the lawyer realizes he sent the wrong guy to prison. An interesting story and a good ending. "
" Good, fast, easy read. Good court room scenes with flawed but relateable characters. "
" not one of my favorite margolin's but it was a good read! "
" A decent page turner, but forgettable. Like I said, a good plane or beach book. "
" It was ok. Nothing special. Lawyers, a murder, trials, blah blah blah. "
" Barely made 2 stars. If you have a choice, read something else. "
" my 1st Margolin. A pleasant surprise and look forward to more. Couple quirky characters, make for some unusual behaviors. "
" Fun little legal thriller. Some of the plot devices felt a little contrived and the story could have used some more meat. However, it was a fast great and the plot had a good number of twists and turns, so I was reasonably well satisfied. "
" It was really good. Just when you thought you had figured it out who did it turns out to be the person who you wouldn't have thought it would be. The meaning the last innocent man defintely meant something in this book. Yes, the plotline was a little outdated but it was still amazing. "
" Interesting because its true. Grisham's books are always an easy entertaining read to me, though the details got a little boring after a while -- possibily because I already knew the outcome (?). "
" This was a rather suspenseful legal thriller; not my favorite by Margolin, but still an entertaining read "
" ANOTHER great suspense courtroom drama by Margolin... "
" Absolutely unbelievable. You keep thinking - this has to be fiction. There's no way that this miscarriage could happen in real life. It blew me away. "
" Took 100 pages to finally grab me but when it did WOW. "
" Very good; early work by author of "Gone But Not Forgetten"; Defense attorney has second thoughts about his clients, a few twists make it interesting. "
" Lawyers, whores, cops, good people and idiots...sounds like a good book? It is for those of you that want to move your head else where. Pretty good ending. I have four more of Margolin's books to read...more to come. "
" Liked it, did not love it "
" My 1st Margolin read...Jury is still out. "
" This book was on the chronicles list of best ever thrillers... Inexplicably. It reads like it was written by a second grader and the only reason I finished it was because I was too lazy to get up off the beach. This book is good.... FOR ME TO POOP ON. "
