About this audiobook

When three Vietnamese immigrants are found murdered and savagely mutilated in Calusa, Florida, police finger wealthy landowner Stephen Leeds as the prime suspect. The now-deceased trio had recently been acquitted of raping Leeds’s wife, Jessie. From his jail cell, Leeds insists that, while they may have gotten what they deserved, he didn’t dispense the vigilante justice.

That’s enough for attorney Matthew Hope to take on the case. But every piece of evidence ties his client to the grisly killings, from Leeds publicly vowing to avenge his wife’s assault to the discovery of his wallet at the scene. And it doesn’t help matters that Hope is going up against Assistant State Attorney Patricia Demming, who is dead-set on seeing Leeds fry for the crime.

Acclaimed author and fan favorite Ed McBain blends powerful suspense with master storytelling for a thrilling and charged tale of two men—one whose life hangs in the balance and one who must follow a convoluted trail of secrets, seduction, and sabotage to get to the truth.

Ed McBain

Ed McBain was one of the pen names of successful and prolific crime fiction author Evan Hunter (1926 – 2005). Debuting in 1956, the popular 87th Precinct is one of the longest running crime series ever published, featuring over fifty novels, and is hailed as “one of the great literary accomplishments of the last half-century.” McBain was awarded the Grand Master Award for lifetime achievement in 1986 by the Mystery Writers of America and was the first American to receive the Cartier Diamond Dagger award from the Crime Writers Association of Great Britain.

    Three Vietnamese men are brutally murdered after being acquitted of raping a white woman. McBain takes us on an exciting journey unraveling the truth as attorney Matthew Hope prepares his defense of the rape victim's husband who is accused of the murder. This book was an interesting, enjoyable read. It has some good twists but at times is quite predictable. This is the first Ed McBain book I've read after and I'm glad I finally decided to give him a try. I like his easy flowing style. I predict that this won't be the last Ed McBain book I read.

    Shortly into this book, I knew I had read it before. I could recognize elements of the plot as it unfolded. But for the life of me, I didn't have the slightest idea how the book would turn out. This enhanced my enjoyment.Ed McBain at his very best.
