Book Description:
From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Guilt and The 13th Juror comes an electrifying new thriller, a novel in which San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy faces the case of his career. This time his family is involved and for Hardy, a devoted husband and father, the stakes have never been higher.

Dismas knows his wife, Frannie, is the most reliable of mothers. When she fails to pick up their children from school one afternoon, he's convinced something terrible has happened. It has: Frannie Hardy is in jail. Called before the grand jury in a murder investigation, she refused to reveal a secret entrusted to her by a man whose children attend the same school as hers, a friend who is accused of killing his wife. But now he has disappeared. Hardy knows there's only one way to get Frannie out of jail: clear her friend of murder. That is, if he can be found. As he moves through a labyrinthine world of big business and San Francisco politics, looking for a man he half hopes never to find, a furious and frustrated Hardy is struggling to understand why his impeccably faithful wife is being so loyal to another man. What kind of truth could keep a wife from her husband, a mother from her children could hold Hardy so powerless before the wrath of the law?

With an unparalleled ability to illuminate the complexities of relationships while weaving a story of breathtaking suspense, Lescroart has never been in finer form. And Nothing But the Truth is his finest hour.

My first book by this author. I suppose it is ok for an officer of the court to condone custodial interference. That was my biggest problem with the book. Certainly fictional, but just too far fetched. This would not happen. A lawyer working "unofficially" with and then without police, luckily grandparents of a dead former husband can take care of children, just too far fetched!

From the back of the book: When San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy gets a call saying his wife never picked the kids up from school, he's worried. Frannie's a great mother. Turns out there's a good explanation: She's in jail.

This was a good introduction to me of Lescroart's work. A good fast-moving mystery.
