"Alex Miller is a criminal defense attorney and, at thirty-five, the youngest partner in one of the most powerful law firms in New York City. He's a man at the top of his game with the life he's always dreamed of. Then, at his father's funeral, Alex meets a mysterious and nearly mythic figure in Miller family history-who presents Alex with a surprising request: to represent him in a high-profile criminal investigation. As Alex gets involved and the facts come out, shocking secrets are revealed that threaten everything Alex believes in-about the law, his family, and himself" -- Cover verso.
Great book. The suspense about the defendant and his supposed crimes as well as his relationship with the lawyer (Alex) and both of his parents and that of Alex and his family and co-counselor (Abby) was definitely twisted and complicated enough! And nothing was obvious or could have gone without saying! A well constructed legal thriller on many counts!
