Book Description:

Star attorney Claire Heller Chapman has known only love and respect from her successful husband. But now police are saying Tom Chapman is not who he says he is. Thirteen years ago, they claim, he had a different face and a different name -- and was responsible for a crime so heinous that only a maniac could have committed it. Now Claire must put her reputation, her family, and her life on the line to defend this man she never knew -- in a case where all the evidence is classified, all the rules are being changed around her...and the stakes are higher and deadlier than she or anyone else could have ever imagined.

Good book! I didn't know until I began reading it's the book that a movie was based upon. I think the book is better.

Police are telling attorney Claire Chapman that her husband is not who he claims to be. 13 years ago he had adifferent name and face. Now she puts everything on the line to defend someone she thought she knew. The stakes are higher then she could know.

Read like an action movie... not really my style. A little tough to believe, too. Not very realistic.

DeMille is a good storyteller and he calls Finder a master storyteller and this book is right in there, especially if you like courtroom drama with mystery and surprize endings.

Not as good as Paranoia or Company Man but still a decent read.
