Synopsis

When much-despised Marbury Marfan senior partner Simon Rafer turns up in a cold pool of blood with an ornate dagger in his back, it comes as a surprise to no one—least of all to Robert Tarza, who is first on the scene. A long-time partner at Marbury, Tarza knows dozens of attorneys in the firm who had good motive to want Rafer in the ground. But despite his own decades of conflict with Rafer—and a recent heated quarrel over a rare ancient coin Simon bought from him—Robert never imagined that homicide Detective Spritz would zero in on him as prime suspect.As Spritz’s case builds with uncanny speed, Robert quickly falls from his respected position at Marbury to a criminal being dragged through the tabloids. Along with his kick-butt defense attorney, Jenna James, he is forced to play detective in a race to find the real killer—and uncovers a web of fraud amongst his closest colleagues in the process. In the end, only Jenna’s untested trial skills can keep him out of prison.Revised edition: This edition of Death on a High Floor includes editorial revisions.

Goodreads review by R.P.

This is an intelligent, witty mystery about back-stabbing lawyers. Gee, are there any other kind? Okay, it's a review, not my personal diatribe on lawyers, and generally I hate lawyers. Where was I? Oh yeah, one back-stabbing lawyer is found dead with a knife in his back (how appropriate is that?) a......more
