Beschreibung
"Bequette's prose is reliably crisp and descriptive, and lots of intrigue and suspense are embedded in a thrillingly serpentine story. " -Kirkus Reviews. Defense attorney Joe Turner has never encountered a client quite like Alec Muthren. The best-selling author and self-styled mystic stands accused of poisoning a Hollywood executive at a book club in a murder that mirrors the plot of his own novel. The extravagant Hollywood book club, filled with self-important executives and prima donnas, provides a hilarious backdrop for the murder and no shortage of suspects when they attempt to re-enact the author's mystery, with the participants taking on roles of the book's characters. When an actual murder happens, chaos ensues. The evidence against him is damning, but Muthren isn't concerned. Speaking in Latin phrases and radiating intellectual superiority, he treats his own murder trial like performance art, undermining Joe's defense at every turn, leaving him struggling to represent a client he can barely stand. When the case takes a shocking turn, Joe realizes he's been playing Muthren's game all along. Within the dark comedy of the book club murder lurks a sinister evil that will have an unlikely victim gasping for their last breath. The cost of justice may be higher than anyone imagined.
