Rosenfelt walks a line between pulse-pounding suspense and laugh-out-loud humor...One of the best in the business."-Associated Press "Entertaining...a good-natured read that isn't quite as easygoing as it seems. Like its hero." -BooklistOver the course of his legal career, Andy Carpenter has lost a few cases. But that doesn't mean he forgets his clients. Andy has always been convinced that Joey Desimone, a man convicted of murder nine years ago, was innocent-and that Joey's family's connections to organized crime played a pivotal role in his conviction. While there isn't much Andy can do while he serves out his prison sentence, there is one way he can help Joey: By checking up on his elderly Uncle Nick and taking his dog, Tara, on a few visits.Nick's memory is going, but when Andy tries to explain why he's there, it jogs something in the old man's mind-and his comments leave Andy wondering if he just might hold the key to Joey's freedom after all. Andy grabs on to this thread of possibility and follows it into a world where the oath of silence is stronger than blood ties...and where people will do anything to make sure their secrets stay hidden.
