When his young associate, Amy Wu, brings in a high profile, controversial double murder case, he decides to sit second chair--in defense of a wealthy, privileged young man even he has trouble believing. <p/> At the same time, Hardy's friend Abe Glitsky has just been promoted to deputy chief of the Investigations Bureau, and has trouble of his own. Hounded by a hostile media, distanced from day-to-day police work, Glitsky must struggle against a wave of violence that has put the city on the verge of panic. <p/> As the tension builds around them, Hardy and Amy's search for the truth will take them down a perilous path, and force Hardy to face his own demons in order to clear his client--and save himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Second Chair</i></b> <p/>"Lescroart gives his ever-growing readership another spellbinder to savor."--<i>Library Journal<br></i><br>"Lescroart devises realistically flawed people who slog through the muck of criminal justice....Lescroart pulls it all together."--<i>People</i> <p/> "Great characters and a wonderful sense of place."--<i>Chicago Tribune</i> <p/> "Lescroart plays out clues with the patience and cunning of a master fly fisherman."--<i>Orlando Sentinel</i> <p/>"Perfectly paced."--<i>Booklist<br></i><br> "Stylish suspense."--<i>The News & Observer </i>(Raleigh, NC) <p/> "A talented author, Lescroart adroitly maintains a high level of tension and suspense."--<i>Roanoke Times</i> <p/> "This suspenseful and involving novel combines the best of the legal and police procedural."--<i>Dallas Morning News</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Lescroart</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of more than twenty-five novels including the Dismas Hardy series.
