Gold-Medal Winner of the Foreword Book of the Year Award
Deadly, high-stakes art fraud case--Enter at your own risk!
After graduating from Harvard Law with his closest friend, John
McKedrick, Michael Knight practices with the U.S. Attorney's office and
with a prestigious trial firm in Boston. Then Michael and his mentor,
the legendary trial attorney Lex Devlin, form Devlin & Knight to do
criminal defense work, while John becomes sole associate of a notorious
mob lawyer. Michael never lost hope that John McKedrick would escape to
"cleaner pastures"--until John is murdered in a car bombing bearing the
signature of his questionable clientele. How could two friends who were
so close have taken such wildly divergent paths?
In the wake of McKedrick's murder, three men who took their own
deviating paths will meet for the first time in forty years. Matt Ryan,
a priest; Dominic Santangelo, a Mafia don; and Lex Devlin put the past
aside to focus on a present concern--Dominic's son has been charged with
John McKedrick's murder. At Lex's urging, Michael Knight reluctantly
agrees to represent the alleged bomber. In building a defense, Michael
is drawn into a high-stakes art fraud that leads him from the seediest
parts of Boston to the sophisticated Amsterdam inner sanctum of
international crime.
