“A great thriller: breakneck pacing, electrifying courtroom scenes, and a cast of richly crafted characters.”—People

Mark Dooher is a prosperous San Francisco attorney and a prominent Catholic, the last person anyone would suspect of a brutal crime. But Dooher, a paragon of success and a master of all he touches, is about to be indicted for murder.

Charged with savagely killing his own wife, Dooher is fighting for his reputation and his life in a high-profile case that is drawing dozens of lives into its wake—from former spouses to former friends, from a beautiful, naive young attorney to a defense lawyer whose own salvation depends on getting his client off.

Now, as the trial builds to a crescendo, as evidence is sifted and witnesses discredited, as a good cop tries to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and a D.A. risks her career, the truth about Mark Dooher is about to explode. For in a trial that will change the lives of everyone it touches, there is one thing that no one knows—until it is much too late. . . .

Praise for Guilt

“A well-paced legal thriller . . . one of the best in this flourishing genre to come along in a while.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Begin [Guilt] over a weekend . . . If you start during the workweek, you will be up very late, and your pleasure will be tainted with, well, guilt.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“A wonderful novel . . . reminiscent of Scott Turow. John Lescroart isn’t a lawyer, but he writes like one.”—Dayton Daily News

“Crackling legal action . . . robust and intelligent entertainment.”—Publishers Weekly

This mass market paperback (c. 1997) came to me from BookCrosser 6of8 after not all of the books brought by BookCrossers to this year's rainy Gaithersburg Book Festival were released. This was one of the remaining books which I hope to release in the near future.

I'm releasing this book for...
