People magazine calls him "a master," while the San Francisco Chronicle describes his bestselling novels as "compulsively readable." In this gripping legal thriller, defense attorney Dismas Hardy and homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky face their most dangerous case yet. The head of San Francisco's largest HMO dies in his hospital, initially thought to be a hit-and-run accident. However, an autopsy reveals he was murdered by a potassium overdose, making attending physician Eric Kensing the prime suspect. As Glitsky investigates, he struggles against two politically appointed cops who hinder his progress, leading him to focus on Kensing. In need of legal help, Kensing seeks out Hardy for defense. As the pressure to indict Kensing mounts, Hardy believes the murder is tied to deeper issues within the HMO rather than his client. He uncovers a disturbing pattern of patient deaths, suggesting the hospital itself may be responsible for the killings. With his marriage strained and family life tested, Hardy races against time to unravel a conspiracy of greed and violence that threatens lives and his friendship with Glitsky. This timely novel showcases Lescroart's talent for weaving suspense and moral complexity.
