Attorney David Sloane is beginning to suspect that his professional success stems not from extraordinary legal skills, but a rare gift that allows him to influence, and even control a jury's decisions.
Teaming up with a former CIA agent turned recluse and a West Virginia police detective, Sloane will try to solve a murder purposely cast as a suicide.
If he can stay alive, he just might expose a 30-year conspiracy that could extend as far as the Oval Office and topple a presidency.
As Robert Dugoni mentions in his interview with Romance in the Backseat, this book is the beginning of Sloane and Tina's relationship. Even though they have known each other for years they were separated by their very closeness in the work place. It is not till, as Robert says, "Tina basiclly says, 'I'm leaving.' and he says 'I love you'."
Sloane and Tina return in Robert Dugoni's newest book Wrongful Death. Can the lawyer who can't lose win a case against the United States Government and the US Military?
What will happen when this case puts Sloane's family in danger?
Attorney David Sloane returns to uncover a ruthless conspiracy that reaches farther and deeper than anything he could have imagined...
David Sloane confronts the one case that threatens to blemish his unbeaten record. Beverly Ford wants Sloane to sue the United States Government and Military in the mysterious death of her husband, a National Guardsman killed in Iraq.
While a decades old military doctrine might make Ford's case impossible to win, Sloane, a former soldier himself, is compelled to find justice for the widow and her four children in what is certain to become the biggest challenge of his career.
With little hard evidence to go on, Sloane calls on his friend, former CIA agent turned private investigator Charles Jenkins, to track down the other men serving with Ford the night he died. Alarmingly, two of the four who returned home alive didn't stay that way for long, and though the mission's wheelchair-bound commander now works for a civilian contractor, he refuses to talk. The final and youngest soldier is also the most elusive, but he's their only shot at discovering the truth if they can keep him alive long enough to tell it.
As Sloane propels his case into a federal courtroom, those seeking to hide the truth threaten Sloane's family, forcing his new wife Tina and stepson Jake into hiding when they become the targets of a relentless killer. Now Sloane must race to uncover what really happened on that fatal mission, not only to bring justice to a family wronged, but to keep himself and the people closest to him from becoming the next casualties...
