New York Times bestselling author of
Guilt and The 13th Juror comes an
electrifying new thriller, a novel in which San Francisco
defense attorney Dismas Hardy faces the case of his
career. This time his family is involved and for Hardy, a
devoted husband and father, the stakes have never been
higher.
Dismas knows his wife, Frannie, is the most
reliable of mothers. When she fails to pick up their
children from school one afternoon, he's convinced
something terrible has happened. It has: Frannie Hardy is
in jail. Called before the grand jury in a murder
investigation, she refused to reveal a secret entrusted to
her by a man whose children attend the same school as
hers, a friend who is accused of killing his wife. But now
he has disappeared. Hardy knows there's only one way to
get Frannie out of jail: clear her friend of murder. That
is, if he can be found. As he moves through a labyrinthine
world of big business and San Francisco politics, looking
for a man he half hopes never to find, a furious and
frustrated Hardy is struggling to understand why his
impeccably faithful wife is being so loyal to another man.
What kind of truth could keep a wife from her husband, a
mother from her children could hold Hardy so powerless
before the wrath of the law?
With an unparalleled
ability to illuminate the complexities of relationships
while weaving a story of breathtaking suspense, Lescroart
has never been in finer form. And Nothing But the
Truth is his finest hour.
