I enjoy a good legal thriller, and Lescroat is one of my two favorite authors in this genre (Robert K. Tanenbaum is the other). In this book, San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy is asked to take on a thick case file compiled by another lawyer—one who has been missing for a while. The case is what appeared to be an open-and-shut murder of a Navy SEAL employed by a private consulting firm in Iraq. The accused murderer is a lieutenant who was also in Iraq and is now in prison. Much of the book details the background of the two men amidst the fighting in Baghdad, which is an interesting twist for Lescroat, who usually places his novels in California. As always, a griping read that is hard to put down.
