This book was a departure from the usual formula for this series, in that much of the book was background leading up to a case that Dismas Hardy inherited. A lot of it took place in Iraq, and lacked the usual humor and banter between the main characters, but it was interesting in that it gave a good sense of what it was like over there, and how money and human life were both wasted by our involvement. The formula of building up a hopeless case was still there, though; but in this case, even the defendant didn't know if he was guilty, so it made it even harder to figure out what happened. But that never stopped the team of Hardy and Glitsky before, so why would it stop them now. ( ) When Evan Scholler is sent to Iraq, his duties bring him in contact with Ron Nolan who undertakes mercenary work for a large american security contractor. Evan returns home to discover Ron has taken up with his ex girlfriend. An altercation ensues and Ron is found dead. Evan has no recollection of the event but is found guilty at trial. When Charlie Bowan, the solicitor handling the appeal goes missing Dismas Hardy inherits the case. When Charlies wife commits suicide, Dismas endeavours to solve the crime and have Evan released from jail. Entertaining nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Dismas Hardy agrees to clean up the caseload of recently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen, he thinks it will be easy. But one of the cases is far from small-time--the sensational clash between National Guard reservist Evan Scholler and an ex-Navy SEAL and private contractor named Ron Nolan. Two rapid-fire events in Iraq conspired to bring the men into fatal conflict: Nolan's relationship with Evan's girlfriend, Tara, a beautiful school-teacher back home in the states, followed by a deadly incident in which Nolan's apparent mistake results in the death of an innocent Iraqi family as well as seven men in Evan's platoon. As the murky relationship between the US government and its private contractors plays out in the personal drama of these two men, and the consequences become a desperate matter of life and death, Dismas Hardy begins to uncover a terrible and perilous truth that takes him far beyond the case and into the realm of assassination and treason.--From publisher description.
