With razor-sharp dialogue and whip-smart plotting, Poison once again demonstrates that Lescroart is a master craftsman (Associated Press)..
The closer he gets to the Wagners, the clearer it becomes that Dismas has a target painted on his back.
Preparing for trial, Dismas investigates the Wagner clan and discovers dark, twisted secrets, jealous siblings, gold-digging girlfriends, betrayals, and blackmail.
The prime suspect is Wagner\'s bookkeeper Abby Jarvis, a former client of Hardy\'s, who had been receiving large sums of cash under-the-table from the company--but she insists that she\'s innocent.
But he is pulled back into the courtroom when Grant Wagner, the steely owner of a successful family business, is murdered.
Finally recovered from two gunshot wounds, Dismas Hardy is looking forward to easing into retirement and reconnecting with his family.
