✦ Synopsis

From Booklist

Andy Carpenter, the Paterson, New Jersey, defense lawyer, returns for his fourth outing. His client: a football player accused of murdering a fellow player (the case being complicated by the fact that the accused killer was holed up in his own house, with a gun and the murdered man's body). But Andy soon discovers that this murder is similar to several earlier killings. Carpenter is a strong series lead, one of those wisecracking-but-don't-underestimate-him kinds of characters. He's also independently wealthy (his father left him $22 million), which means he can pick and choose his cases. The author handles the material deftly, mixing humor and whodunit but never letting the comedy overwhelm the mystery. The novels are written in the present tense, a much overused gimmick in the genre; but here it somehow works, helping to sustain tension by establishing that neither Andy nor the reader knows what's about to happen. A cracking good yarn. David Pitt
