I have not listened to the complete book yet but have made spot checks for
quality and completeness of the mp3 files and have not picked up any problems.

In the event of a bad post and the par files can't make the needed repairs, I
will do a repost. Enjoy

Book Description

Release date: March 25, 2003

A stained legal career spent defending mob enforcers, two-bit hoods, and other
dregs of humanity has left Philadelphia lawyer Victor Carl jaded and resentful
-- until a new client appears to offer him an escape and a big payday.
Caroline Shaw, the desperate scion of a prominent Main Line dynasty, wants him
to prove that her sister Jacqueline's recent suicide was, in fact, murder
before Caroline suffers a similar fate.

It is a case that propels Carl out of his courtroom element and into a murky
world of fabulous wealth, bloody family legacies, and dark secrets. Victor
Carl would love nothing more than to collect his substantial fee and get out
alive. But a bitter truth is dragging him in dangerously over his head, and
ever closer to the shattering revelation that the most terrifying darkness of
all lies not in the heart of a Central American jungle...but in the twisted
soul of man.

From the Back Cover
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Victor Carl series comes a
stunning stand-alone novel about a young man forced to confront the dark
truthsof his past

For a son, every funeral before his father's death is a rehearsal and every
funeral thereafter is a memorial.

Kyle Byrne, the illegitimate son of a prominent Philadelphia lawyer, had to
sneak into his father's funeral when he was fourteen years old. Twelve years
later, his father's death still casts a shadow upon his heart.

Now amiable and handsome, Kyle finds himself drifting through a life of slack.
With his house in foreclosure and his part-time job lost, he spends his days
playing Xbox and his nights in Philly bars, drinking way too much and sleeping
with the wrong type of women. Life is, well, actually pretty damn sweet.

But when his father's former law partner is brutally murdered, the cops see
Kyle as a possible suspect and start asking uncomfortable questions about his
father's death. And after a strange encounter with one of his father's former
clients, Kyle enters into a search for answers that leads from his father's
past to the highest pinnacles of power-and forces Kyle to lay bare the
deceptions and losses in his own life.

Just when it seems he's close to learning the truth about his father and the
murder, Kyle is reminded of that old adage "be careful what you wish for."
Because Kyle Byrne's most fervent wish is suddenly about to come true-with a
vengeance.
