About this audiobook
A finalist for the LA Times Book Prize
A little girl, snatched from her bed in the dead of night...
They knew who killed her. They couldn’t prove it. 26 years later, her brother Sammy doesn’t care about proof. He only cares about justice. Now, only his childhood best friend, attorney Jason Kolarich, can save Sammy from a life sentence for killing a killer.
To defend Sammy, Jason must do what authorities could not, decades ago—prove the guilt of the pedophile who killed Sammy’s sister. But a mysterious benefactor, “Mr. Smith,” suddenly appears, offering money, resources, even alibis for Sammy’s defense. And he will stop at nothing—threatening the lives of Jason and his family—to control the outcome of the case. As the trial draws near, Jason races against time to save his family from Mr. Smith’s team and his friend Sammy from life in prison, while two crimes, decades apart, converge in a stunning verdict.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5David Ellis is a great writer. It takes a LONG time for the plot to fully develope so hang in there, it's worth the wait. The flash-backs in this novel didn't add to the story and were in fact confusing. That said, the story hooked me and I had to keep reading and loved the unexpected ending.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As an audiobook-a-holic go through a couple of books a week. Most are worth hearing, but few are as distracting and brilliant as this one! Just like the one that preceded it, this had me guessing all the way and leaving me feeling like I had gotten to know real people living real lives, the writing is so vivid. Highly recommend!
