About this eBook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

USA Today Bestseller

Lisa Scottoline, the #1 bestselling author of What Happened to the Bennetts, presents another pulse-pounding domestic thriller about family, justice, and the lies that tear us apart.


TJ Devlin is the charming disappointment in the prominent Devlin family, all of whom are lawyers at their highly successful firm—except him. After a stint in prison and rehab for alcoholism, TJ can’t get hired anywhere except at the firm, in a make-work job with the title of investigator.

But one night, TJ’s world turns upside down after his older brother John confesses that he murdered one of their clients, an accountant he’d confronted with proof of embezzlement. It seems impossible coming from John, the firstborn son and Most Valuable Devlin.

TJ plunges into the investigation, seizing the chance to prove his worth and save his brother. But in no time, TJ and John find themselves entangled in a lethal web of deception and murder. TJ will fight to save his family, but what he learns might break them first.

I have read several books by this author and just like them, this book is fantastic. Characters are developed in a smooth manner-some to love, others to seriously dislike, others to empathize with. The story rolls out in perfect tempo, allowing for the reader to think in tandem with the characters. I highly recommend this novel. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was hooked from the beginning . Great mystery taking place in an area I know. She showed how complicated families can be. Her humor column in the Inquirer every Sunday exposes how real Lisa is. I was also very impacted by her book Eternal.
