Author: William Lashner
New York Times bestselling author William Lashner returns with a brilliantly twisty tale that probes the dark side of the law -- and man Unlike the rest of you, I cheerfully admit to my own utter selfishness.

--Victor Carl A beautiful young woman is dead, her husband convicted of the murder. In seeking a new trial for the husband, defense attorney Victor Carl must confront not only a determined prosecutor and a police detective who might have set up his client, but also a strange little busybody named Bob. Bob has the aspiration, one could even say compulsion, to help those around him. And it usually works out well for all concerned, except when it ends in blood. But Victor doesn’t know that . . . yet. Thanks to Bob, Victor is suddenly dressing better, dating a stunning woman, and both his economic prospects and his teeth are gleaming. It’s all good, until Victor finds a troubling connection between Bob and the murdered wife. Is Bob a kind of saint or is this obsessive Good Samaritan, in reality, a murderer? Filled with the keen wit, deep poignancy, twisting suspense, and dark realism that has entranced readers, impressed reviewers, and made William Lashner’s previous novels bestsellers, Falls the Shadow is a riveting novel sure to leave readers eager for more.

They need to make a television around Victor Carl, and get James Spader of Boston Legal to play him. It would be a winner!! Another good tale from Lashner.

I love this series - with the attorney Victor Carl -- not your typical attorney. Excellent book - an intricate tale involving a murder trial, a French chef, and a dentist! I highly recommend it (and others by this writer). It is fast-paced and witty and suspenseful. An excellent read!

William Lashner has moved to the top of my favorite authors list! Many suprising plot twists...that I didn't see coming...and well developed, and very unique, characters.
