Search - Mercy Rule

For lovers of police procedural/courtroom mysteries, this is an excellent book and will keep your interest right up to the end.

Loved this book,one of Lescroart's best books. Highly recommend it.

The good thing about a Lescroart mystery is not so much the mystery as the characters who intersect the mystery. Murder's the name but the players are the game. Here Lescroart touches on an emotionally charged issue, euthanasia or mercy killing. There's a nice analogy with the game of baseball, perhaps unintentional, which is that in the early levels of the game the adolescent players learn 'the slaughter rule,' allowing a team which has no chance of winning having fallen behind an insurmountable lead, to exit with some self respect intact.
