From Library Journal
When Robin Harwell hires Charley Sloan to represent her stepdaughter Angel, it ' s a dream come true. Sloan, once a high-priced attorney and now a down-on-his-luck recovering alcoholic, knows things look bleak, for Angel has confessed to the stabbing death of her father, millionaire Harrison Harwell. Trying to figure out who killed Harwell and whether Sloan is capable of putting together an adequate defense for Angel keeps the book moving at a smart pace. Coughlin, a federal judge in Michigan and author of Her Father's Daughter (Putnam, 1986. o.p.), The Twelve Apostles (Putnam, 1984. o.p.), and ten other books, is a consummate sto ryteller and does not disappoint here. Even Sloan's repeated references to his problems with alcohol and his gullibility do not diminish the sharpness of the courtroom drama.
