Damage Damage Paperback – January 3, 2012
Wes Farrell, the lawyer who appeared in A Certain Justice (1995) and
Guilt (1997), has a new job: he is San Fransisco’s new district
attorney. And his first case looks like it’s going to be a doozy. Ten
years ago, Roland Curtlee, scion of a wealthy and powerful family, was
convicted of the rape and murder of a family employee. Now he’s been let
out pending a retrial (on what seems an especially nit-picky
technicality). When the first trial’s chief witness appears to be killed
in a house fire, and someone else involved in the case dies under
similar circumstances, Wes must fend off pressure from the Curtlee
family and find the truth in a case that’s full of confusion and lies.
Naturally, he turns to his old friend and colleague, Abe Glitsky, the
homicide cop who acts as a sort of link between the Farrell novels and
Lescroart’s series featuring attorney Dismas Hardy (who also appears, in
a minor role, in this book). Another solid, well-constructed legal
thriller from the popular author. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: How’s
this for a track record: more than 8.5 million copies of Lescroart’s
novels have been sold in the past decade, and his books have been
translated into 16 languages in more than 75 countries. Piggy-backing on
all that, his latest will profit from a six-figure marketing campaign.
