Alibi

Jessica Nagoshi, the beautiful heiress to billions, is being groomed to take control of Nagoshi Inc. Until she is murdered. Jessica was in her third year pre-law at the prestigious Deane University. Boston criminal defence attorney David Cavanaugh enters the case when James Matheson, a wealthy, but unaffected law student is arrested for Jessica’s murder. From the outset David is hampered by unspoken alliances and corporate malpractice, leaving the case in tatters. But in the end, nothing can prepare him for the truth – and the diabolical lengths some will go to, to preserve their life of privilege. ‘Terrific legal suspense.’ — Lee Child ‘Excellent, intricate plotting, a substantial theme, and a rich cast of believable characters make Sydney Bauer’s ALIBI a joy of a read. A winner in every respect.’ — John Lescroart
