Police detective Krystal Murphy is drawn into a murder mystery ripped from today’s headlines. The clues draw her ever more deeply into the darkest corners of Washington, D.C. intrigue. A wily and powerful foe blocks her every move and threatens death if she gets too close to the truth.
I love Mike Davidson's spy novels. Nobody can spin a better spy story than a guy who spent a couple of decades as a case officer in the CIA's Clandestine Service chasing Russians around around some of the dicier places on the planet. But an ex-spy who can write detective stories, too? Who knew? THE DEAD LAWYER is a perfect blend of espionage and crime, all stirred into a rich stew of Russian skullduggery right out of today's Washington Post. It's dead on point, dead well written, and... well dead good. You'll love it.
