Product Description

From Amazon.com

Even though the excellent thrillers by John Lescroart--The 13th Juror, A Certain Justice, Dead Irish, and Hard Evidence are out in paperback--usually feature stirring courtroom scenes, where they really shine is out in the real world. His latest is no exception, as Mark Dooher, a high-profile attorney with links to the Catholic hierarchy of San Francisco, is charged with the brutal murder of the wife he had come to hate. Did Dooher do her? Lt. Abe Glitsky, whose own beloved wife is dying of cancer, is sure of it, but defense attorneys Wes Farrell and Christina Carrera--for different but equally hidden reasons--are certain he's being framed. You'll enjoy the tension and appreciate the intricate plotting. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Library Journal

Mark Dooher has a successful legal career, a long-lasting marriage, charm, good looks, and money; but when he meets young, beautiful law student Christina Carrera, he wants her, too. The author of A Certain Justice (LJ 7/95) has Mark manage, through a series of devious manipulations, to rid Christina of her fiance, get her a job at his firm, and make her fall in love with him. But there is the troublesome matter of his wife, whom he cannot divorce because of his important professional relationship with the city's archbishop. Then his wife turns up conveniently murdered, and the resulting trial could turn out to be Mark's greatest challenge yet. This original, well-crafted page-turner is blockbuster material. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely interesting gimmick, May 14 2004
By KC Sierra "kcsierra" (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guilt (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the book interesting and a good read. I've been a Lescroart fan since "The 13th Juror," and truly feel like the San Francisco about which he writes actually exists.

But there's something more here, and if someone has brought it up already, then please forgive the redundancy.

In "Guilt," Lescroart has done something very clever. If you read the previous novel, "A Certain Justice," then you already know the identity of the killer in "Guilt." That's because most of "Guilt" takes place prior to "A Certain Justice."

Chronologically, "A Certain Justice" takes place within the pages of "Guilt," and the later novel gives a brief summary of the prior novel's events at the appropriate point.

It's an interesting approach. They're both terrific novels, and while I missed Dismas Hardy, it was good to spend time getting to know Glitsky. I highly recommend both books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weighty legal thriller, Sep 6 2002
By F. J. Harvey "Cricket ,country music and a go... (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Guilt (Mass Market Paperback)
Mike Dooher is a successful and utterly self-centred San Francisco lawyer,head of a major legal firm which does the bulk of its business with the city Catholic archdiocese.He falls in love with Christine a young law student and sets out to marry her,not in the least phased by the fact he is already married,or that she is engaged to a young attorney in his employ.The only morality he acknowledges is his own success and desires.Realising he must murder his wife that is precisely what he does.He engages a friend WeS Farrell to defend him in the resulatant trial .Farrell despite becoming convinced of his guilt takes the case
There is no "who dun it"aspect to the book which revolves around "Will he get away with it and if so how and at what cost,professionally and personally?
The OJ overtones are clear but what gives the book its strengths are the characterization and its psychological depth.the lawyers are well drawn as is Abe Glitzky the Jewish/Afro-American cop who is a regular in Lescroarts books
I especially liked the depiction of the relationship between Farrell and Samantha a rape crises centre worker with whom he develops a relationship
Not blood and thunder but a well and carefully wrought book with something to say

4.0 out of 5 stars A great legal thriller!, Dec 14 2001
This review is from: Guilt (Mass Market Paperback)
It has been a while since I have been able to sit down and just enjoy some good 'ol legal fiction - nothing heavy, nothing outrageous, just a good story. It was a pleasure to spend long hours reading this book and trying to figure out at first who really was guilty, who really did commit these murders.

The book builds up rather nicely to a somewhat predictable though still suspenseful (can this both be true?) climax that puts the book at a level that often surpasses that of John Grisham types. There is a depth to the characters that makes you root for them and want to keep on reading. I am impressed with Lescroart's ability to present a believable court case - especially since he is not a lawyer.

The actual facts are not entirely believable however. Dooher is so nice, so caring and yet the dark side that eventually comes out is a bit too jolting to seem believable. Perhaps that is the point, to make you think ANYONE could be a murderer. Still, I felt slightly cheated.

This is a good book to curl up with, however, and to want to finish right to the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars troubled souls
a legal thriller, though it takes a long time for the central theme to kick in. compelling courtroom scenes, pacing is maintained though the writing style lacks tautness and rigor.
