SUDDEN DEATH
With an inherited windfall of $22 million and his loyal golden retriever by his side, lawyer Andy Carpenter is content to stay out of the legal game. But when he’s summoned to a murder scene, the benchwarming attorney finds his number called. The victim is Troy Preston, a fast-rising NFL wide receiver, and the prime suspect is Andy’s client, a star running back. Plunging into this high-profile case—while also trying to convince Laurie Collins, the love of his life, not to leave him—Andy uncovers a clue that leads him from Preston’s death to other strange killings somehow connected by an old, horrible secret...and a relentless killer who will force Andy to run the best play of his life.
