Product Description
Product Description
They used to be partners--Greg Monarch and Ira Sullivan, a couple of do-good lawyers in central California. But it all went bad for Ira. Bad enough that he wakes up in jail one day staring at a death sentence for murder. Only Greg Monarch has a prayer of getting him off--if he's willing to cross certain ethical lines.
Layer by layer, Greg peels back a tissue of lies--and at the rotten core he comes to Sandy Polson. Sandy says she was with Ira the night of the murder, says she saw the whole thing. The prosecution believes she's the perfect witness. But what if Monarch could persuade Sandy to tell the truth? Wouldn't Sandy then become the perfect witness for the defense?

A good book that starts out slow, but becomes much better as the book develops. I almost quit but I decided to finish it and I'm glad I did. If you like a good legal read then I would recommend The Perfect Witness.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
A great read for anyone who wants to get away, at least for an evening or two. Vivid in its narrative and true in its dialogue, the book lets the reader become a fly on the wall as the story unfolds. Characters are people you'd want to be friends with (or in some cases not). Keeps you going down to the end, then you wish it wasn't over.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This twisted plot is long on exposition and short on drama. It reads like a freshman creative writing exercise. There isn't a single character that is fully developed. I was so disappointed that I dropped it in the trash at the Phoenix airport.
