David Kirk patří mezi nejvyhledávanější odborníky v oblasti trestního práva. Jako úspěšnému advokátovi se mu klienti jenom hrnou, a proto se zpočátku zdráhá přijmout obhajobu mladého fotografa, který je obviněn z vraždy mladé herečky. Případ ho však zaujme ve chvíli, kdy zjistí, že policie podezřívá fotografa jen z jediného důvodu, kterým je blízký vztah se zavražděnou. V průběhu vyšetřování se Kirk postupně dostává do slepých uliček a beznadějných situací, což je pro protřelého právníka něco zcela nového. A když dojde k samotnému soudnímu procesu, vyplyne napovrch šokující pravda, která Davida přinutí přemýšlet o základních etických hodnotách v soudnictví

A Hidden Gem.
I found this book at a transition period in my young life, around eleven years old, when I was reading a whole lot but mainly concentrated by my peers and a variety of authority figures into reading those mid-teen thriller/horror novels (eg. Point Horror, Goosebumps); opting for something with a bit of a kick in comparison to 'Sweet Valley High', etc. the lesser of several evils, in my opinion.
So when I found this huge hardback lurking amongst my parents affects, I just had to read it - the front was so dark and bland, the book so hefty and obviously adult; the sort of book I had never read before or had ever really had access to.
This undoubtedly was the first 'grown-up' book I ever read and it was fantastic.
I was hooked on the idea of someone having Multiple Personality Disorder - the prospect of one individual never really knowing another, at least not for certain. The existence of these disorders intrigued me and continues to do so into my adulthood and the uncertainty throughout the novel about the criminal character, did he or didn't he? is he or isn't he?
Well worth a read, maybe not your usual cup of tea but it'll definately make you think - maybe consider something by Jodi Picoult or James Patterson if you enjoy this.

Well... after just finishing a Jeffrey Deaver mystery, this novel left me disappointed. I figured out ahead of time what the twist near the end would be.
I fell a bit disloyal writing this comment because Henry Denker is my cousins' , Rose and Edie's "Uncle Henry." I think Uncle Henry should stick to novels which are NOT mysteries.
