When a seemingly simple case turns complicated, respected attorney Barbara Holloway must rethink her game plan. Gregarious Las Vegas entertainer and ex-con Wally Lederer claims he's turned his life around. But when Jay Wilkins, a childhood friend, accuses Wally of stealing a valuable artifact, it's up to Barbara to ferret out the truth. Wally swears he's innocent. But when a murder takes place and the police name Wally as their prime suspect, Barbara knows he is in serious trouble.

As Barbara begins to "dig up the dirt", she is shocked to learn that Jay's wife is now missing and that Jay himself is far from being the upstanding businessman he claimed to be. Before long, new evidence points toward an unlikely killer. But the truth that would protect her client could jeopardize another life she means to save.

Interesting story line, maybe a little to much irrelevant discussion, but good to listen to when doing something else Eg. Knitting

Narrative OK, but I found it difficult at first to distinguish some male characters as they sounded alike.

Good listening

The dilema of the Lawyers role versus the humanity. How to combine both in the pursuit of justice - proper justice not legal Justice.

This story was well paced, well balanced and took a difficult concept and explored it well.

Very enjoyable.

Excellent story, well written and well read

As usual with this kind of story, lack of evidence undermines the realism of a decision to prosecute at all. Good denouement but too many loose ends. Is there a sequel to pick up these loose ends? Likeable characters. Pleasant enough to listen to.

Well narrated
