Reckless Homicide

by Ira Genberg

He took a chance, told a lie, then a plane went down--and the nightmare began...

Michael Ashmore, senior partner at a top law firm, has a reputation he cherishes. In a world of liars, he's an honest man. So he shouldn't start an affair with a junior attorney at his firm. But he loves her. As a major airline's counsel, he shouldn't hide a failed drug test for his pilot brother, Charlie. But the test showed a mere trace of a prescription sleeping pill. And Charlie swears he'll never touch a pill again.

Then Charlie's plane crashes, killing everyone on board. Charlie is found loaded with barbiturates. Now Michael, himself charged with reckless homicide, doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. And that's just what someone planned. For Michael Ashmore, soft-hearted, hard-headed trial lawyer, has been chosen as the perfect patsy in a chilling conspiracy. And he has until the verdict comes in to find out who and why...

Reviews

[Linda]

A Grisham-type legal novel. Engrossing!

[Linda]

Would make an awesome movie. The book seems boring at first, yet it all comes together about page 135.

3.5 stars

[Marty Cooper]

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this legal thriller. Looking forward to reading another book by the author.

[Marci]

Two sex scenes in the first forty pages, characters losing their moral compass, didn't bother reading any further.

[Stephanie]

not great, not bad - the author is probably fine and it was just not a great weekend for me to be reading a book. A one-night stand for sure
