Synopsis

From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Guilt and The 13th Juror comes an electrifying new thriller--a novel in which San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy faces the case of his career. This time his family is involved--and for Hardy, a devoted husband and father, the stakes have never been higher.

Dismas knows his wife, Frannie, is the most reliable of mothers. When she fails to pick up their children from school one afternoon, he's convinced something terrible has happened. It has: Frannie Hardy is in jail. Called before the grand jury in a murder investigation, she refused to reveal a secret entrusted to her by a man whose children attend the same school as hers, a friend who is accused of killing his wife. But now he has disappeared. Hardy knows there's only one way to get Frannie out of jail: clear her friend of murder. That is, if he can be found.

As he moves through a labyrinthine world of big business and San Francisco politics, looking for a man he half hopes never to find, a furious and frustrated Hardy is struggling to understand why his impeccably faithful wife is being so loyal to another man. What kind of truth could keep a wife from her husband, a mother from her children--could hold Hardy so powerless before the wrath of the law?

With an unparalleled ability to illuminate the complexities of relationships while weaving a story of breathtaking suspense, Lescroart has never been in finer form. And Nothing But the Truth is his finest hour.

Goodreads review by Paul on August 15, 2024

Dull characters that nobody will care about at all! As part of the long-running Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitzky series, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH falls completely flat for me and is an utter failure as a legal "thriller"!

Goodreads review by James on February 09, 2025

I've generally enjoyed all of the novels in John Lescroart's series featuring attorney Dismas Hardy, and I think that the best of the books in the series are those in which Hardy is defending a client, usually accused of murder, in court. Even though Lescroart is not a lawyer himself the courtroom s......more

Goodreads review by Johnny on March 17, 2010

There are some prolific authors that fail to engage me because of the perceived style of writing. Lescroart’s oeuvre seemed to consist of lengthy books that seemed overly predictable. If my first experience with his writing is any indication, boy did I get a wrong number. Nothing But The Truth is bo......more
