Synopsis

“Irving’s writing reveals the twists and turns of the courts of law and the dark byways of the human heart.” —Barry Maine, Professor of English, Wake Forest University

The dramatic murder of Heather’s political rival assures her re-election, but suspicious eyes focus on the county’s chief prosecutor as the person who benefits most from Randy Hamburger’s death. Joth is committed to clearing his long-time ally’s name, but when other friends and clients find themselves in the crosshairs, Joth faces conflicts that muddy the investigative waters and place his own career in potential jeopardy. Truth is elusive where suspects are many and their motives mixed.

“Irving has produced not just fine detective fiction, but fine fiction…” —Raymond Smith, Professor of English, Indiana University
