From Booklist
Las Vegas entertainer Wally Lederer, a former pickpocket, now puts his skills to good use in his stage show. When childhood friend Jay Wilkins accuses him of stealing a gold artifact, Wally turns to attorney Barbara Holloway (Clear and Convincing Proof, 2003) to help convince the police he has turned his life around. Matters become more complicated when Jay is found murdered and his wife goes missing. As Barbara investigates, evidence leads her to an unlikely killer. Revealing the truth may save her client but harm an innocent person. Wilhelm has produced another intricately plotted mystery with an ethical dilemma at its core. Barbara Bibel
