Corvelli finds himself caught up in a high-profile case when the beautiful, young mistress of Hawaii's governor is found dead from poison in her expensive apartment. Even though Governor Wade Omphrey was not on the island when it happened, he's suspected of having hired the deed done. He knows that only someone as ruthless as Corvelli can defend him.

When career criminal Turi Ahina is arrested by the DEA in a big sting operation they having going on the islands, Corvelli owes it to Ahina to take his case. After all, Ahina saved Corvelli's life, so he owes him big-time. Knowing the only way to protect Ahina is to set a trap for the head of the island drug trade, Corvelli also realizes it will be dangerous and possibly suicidal.

With the perfect blend of mystery and suspense, LAST LAWYER STANDING by Douglas Corleone is a witty and complex legal thriller. The exotic setting and idiosyncratic characters are an added bonus to the third book in this series after ONE MAN'S PARADISE and NIGHT ON FIRE.
