A classic summer legal thriller from the most popular storyteller of our time.

Dark mysteries invade East Hampton as a struggling lawyer fights to save an old friend from being framed for murder.

Montauk lawyer Tom Dunleavy's client list is woefully small, with occasional real estate closings barely keep him in paper clips. So, when he is hired to defend a local man accused of a triple murder in East Hampton, he knows that he has found the case of a lifetime.

The crime turns the glittering playground of the super-rich into a blazing inferno. Dunleavy's client is a local hero, but he knows the case rests on money, deception, and forbidden desires. His client will be framed, unless he can find the key to the case.

When Dunleavy is joined by his former flame — the savvy and well-connected attorney, Kate Costello — he believes he has a chance. But payback is a bitch, especially from the rich. The violent retaliations of the billionaires threatened by his investigation exceed anything Dunleavy has ever seen.

With the entire nation's eyes on him in a new “Trial of the Century”, Dunleavy orchestrates a series of revelations that lead to a stunning outcome — and the truth is wilder than anything he ever imagined.
