Seattle attorney David Sloane is on the verge of winning a wrongful death lawsuit against respected pediatrician Dr. Peter Douvalidis when a curve ball upsets his perfect case. Toy designer Kyle Horgan confesses he is culpable in the young child's death.
His position suddenly shaky becomes even more precarious when a second child dies almost identical to how his clients’ offspring died. Dr. Douvalidis had nothing to do with the second pediatric death. Before he can question Horgan, the toymaker vanishes. Former CIA assassin Anthony Stenopolis seeking revenge stalks Sloane, whose reputation as never losing a case is teetering.. Before it is too late, Sloane seeks out Stenopolis.
The third Sloane legal thriller (see Jury Master and Wrongful Death) is an enjoyable tale that is superb when the focus is on the unraveling case, but loses some steam in ironically the more action-packed cat and mouse search for the hero’s stalking assassin. Still fast-paced regardless of which subplot takes center stage, readers will appreciate Robert Dugoni’s latest suspense filled novel.
