Publisher's Summary

When a seemingly simple case turns complicated, respected attorney Barbara Holloway must rethink her game plan. Gregarious Las Vegas entertainer and ex-con Wally Lederer claims he's turned his life around. But when Jay Wilkins, a childhood friend, accuses Wally of stealing a valuable artifact, it's up to Barbara to ferret out the truth. Wally swears he's innocent. But when a murder takes place and the police name Wally as their prime suspect, Barbara knows he is in serious trouble.

As Barbara begins to "dig up the dirt", she is shocked to learn that Jay's wife is now missing and that Jay himself is far from being the upstanding businessman he claimed to be. Before long, new evidence points toward an unlikely killer. But the truth that would protect her client could jeopardize another life she means to save.

Good book

I had to listen in sections because life got in the way and am now puzzled at the ending. Did I miss something? Is this the way it ends? I am happy about the end of the trial but that one thread ????

Good book in good series

I couldn’t find this book in Ebook format and wanted to continue with the series, so decided to try out Audible. I was pleasantly surprised that listening, rather than reading, was not as painful as I thought it would be. I can read faster than listen but learned to cope. #Audible1

The story is excellent. I have read most of the books in this series so had my own ideas about how the recurring characters would sound. The performance was different, of course, but good, not distracting from the story.
