New York Times bestseller John Lescroart returns with
an ambitious, torn-from- today's-headlines thriller
featuring his trademark blend of real people and real
suspense.
John Lescroart's millions of fans have
been waiting three years for the return of San Francisco
defense attorney Dismas Hardy and his buddy, detective Abe
Glitsky--and in that time John Lescroart's popularity has
continued to soar. Now, Hardy and Glitsky reunite in a story
filled with the big themes that are worthy of them--the
intersection of love, betrayal, and a desperate search for
the truth in a critical matter of national security.
When Dismas Hardy agrees to clean up the caseload
of recently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen, he thinks it
will be easy. But one of the cases is far from
small-time--the sensational clash between National Guard
reservist Evan Scholler and an ex-Navy SEAL and private
contractor named Ron Nolan. Two rapid-fire events in Iraq
conspired to bring the men into fatal conflict: Nolan?s
relationship with Evan's girlfriend, Tara, a beautiful
school-teacher back home in the states, followed by a deadly
incident in which Nolan's apparent mistake results in the
death of an innocent Iraqi family as well as seven men in
Evan's platoon. As the murky relationship between the US
government and its private contractors plays out in the
personal drama of these two men, and the consequences become
a desperate matter of life and death, Dismas Hardy begins to
uncover a terrible and perilous truth that takes him far
beyond the case and into the realm of assassination and
treason.
From the treacherous streets of Iraq to
the courtrooms of California, Betrayal is not only
John Lescroart's most ambitious and provocative novel, it is
a magnificent tour de force of pure storytelling.
Hi to all, wish you all doing fine, well I'm Sarah A. from Iran and I was luckily gifted the book last week, however I'm still on page 275 by now where it's already made my heart fairly throbbing and my mind busy with an attempt to guess who's killed Nolan and I simply put the Allstrong contraction firm commander as the main suspect so I'm enthusiastically going to read the rest and see if I am wrong. By the way, dear John Lescroart's official site doesn't seem to work at all or it's a temporary glitch happened again. I'd like to write more, Regards,S. (Sarah Anonymous 3:40pm April 10, 2009)
I got through the book just in a while back and it came quite disappointing to me the way Mr. Lescroart wrapped it up. Not that I'd guessed wrong and it would incline me to like to be fueled the other way round but in fact the more I pushed my way into the last chapters the more I found the lines increase in quantity and shrink in quality of reasoning and also twiddling with the reader's emotions in the right way as it'd adeptly done before.
