Description
Sheriff Billie Gray calls on Solomon Shepard once more to tackle an investigation into the murder of a criminal defense attorney in this heart-pounding thriller from the bestselling author of A Killer's Wife.
When a local criminal defense attorney turns up dead, Sheriff Billie Gray arrives on the scene. At first glance, the lawyer's death looks like suicide. But Billie knows better: this was murder.
To assist with the investigation, Billie calls on her old friend Solomon Shepard, who isn't so eager to accept. After a traumatic attack left him mentally in shambles, Solomon is on indefinite leave from the county attorney's office. But Billie needs him. And he can't say no to Billie.
As Billie and Solomon hurtle into the investigation, they soon realize the killer may be closer to them than they ever thought possible. Can they catch a killer who anticipates their every move-before they find themselves in the crosshairs?

Person
At the age of thirteen, when his best friend was interrogated by the police for over eight hours and confessed to a crime he didn't commit, Victor Methos knew he would one day become a lawyer. After graduating from law school at the University of Utah, Methos cut his teeth as a prosecutor for Salt Lake City before founding what would become the most successful criminal defense firm in Utah.
In ten years, Methos conducted more than one hundred trials. One particular case stuck with him, and it eventually became the basis for his first major bestseller, The Neon Lawyer. Since that time, Methos has focused his work on legal thrillers and mysteries, winning the Harper Lee Prize for The Hallows and an Edgar Award for Best Novel nomination for his title A Gambler's Jury. He currently splits his time between southern Utah and Las Vegas.
