David Sloan series Book#1
4★'s
From The Book:
David Sloane is the best wrongful death attorney in San Francisco. But despite his professional success, he's plagued by a nightmare of a childhood he cannot consciously remember. When he receives a package from a White House confidant who then turns up dead, the contents reveal a history he could never have imagined.
My Thoughts:
I love Robert Dugoni's flowing, easy to read writing style and the way he makes the reader feel that they are right in the midst of the story.
Although the title makes you think it's a legal thriller...it actually has more of a political trend. David Sloan is a brilliant defense attorney...never lost a case. He's also an ex-Marine whose past has come back to haunt him and seemingly everyone he loves and is acquainted with...when he is mailed a document by a long ago friend and fellow soldier who just happens to be the Presidents best friend who has just committed suicide. Someone will stop at nothing to retrieve this package and the bodies begin to pile up.
I am not being a huge fan of political thrillers, but I definitely became involved with the characters, caught up in the suspense and loved the twist at the end. This is Robert Dugoni’s first novel and it wasn’t perfect, by any means, but it was exciting and compelling. I shall definitely hunt down his next book in this series.
