Synopsis

"A great thriller: breakneck pacing, electrifying courtroom scenes, and a cast of richly crafted characters."—PeopleMark 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

Goodreads review by Asghar

Guilty pleasure does not get any guiltier than this. The flow is pretty smooth here. Lescroart sure knows how to write believable characters with clear motivations. Plus, his books are just so much fun to read. A right amount of everything in them; equal part cynicism and hope. Codicil: November 2020......more

Goodreads review by K

I'd had this on my shelf for a while, and every time I looked at it, I thought, "no, not in the mood." At over 600 pages, and by an author with whom I was unfamiliar, I just couldn't get in the proper mood. Nevertheless, here I am, having just finished with these few thoughts to share.
