NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
âLescroart never ceases to amaze his fans. The wit, the timing, the dialogueâeverything combines to give this author yet another bestseller and provide readers with a fast-paced, memorable thriller.â âSuspense Magazine
âThe narrative flows effortlessly and includes a Perry Masonâworthy moment when Hardy manifests a bit of courtroom magic. Lescroart is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy great ensemble casts.â âBooklist
In John Lescroartâs latest thriller, San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy is called upon to investigate the murder of a wealthy man whose heirs are all potential suspects.
Dismas Hardy is looking forward to easing into retirement and reconnecting with his family after recovering from two glancing gunshot wounds courtesy of a recent client. But this plan is cut short when, against his wifeâs wishes, he is pulled back into the courtroom by the murder of Grant Wagner, the steely owner of a successful family business. The prime suspect is Wagnerâs bookkeeper, Abby Jarvis, a former client of Hardyâs who had been receiving large sums of cash under-the-table from the companyâbut she insists that sheâs innocent and Dismas wants to believe her.
As he prepares for trial, Dismas probes deeply into the Wagner clanâs history, discovering dark secrets, jealous siblings, gold-digging girlfriends, startling betrayals, and menacing blackmailers. Suspense builds as the trial date looms, and the closer Dismas gets to the Wagners, the clearer it becomes that he has a large target painted on his back.
With John Lescroartâs razor-sharp dialogue, intricate plotting and relentless pacing, Poison is a nail-biter that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
