A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ROBERT DUGONI RETURNS WITH HIS MOST EXHILARATING THRILLER TO DATE, A PULSE-POUNDING STORY OF CORPORATE GREED, ESPIONAGE, AND THE LENGTHS ONE MAN IS WILLING TO GO FOR JUSTICE.

B odily Harm opens with a big win for David Sloane and his new partner, Tom Pendergrass, in a malpractice case centered on the death of a young child. But on the heels of this seeming victory, an unlikely character—toy designer Kyle Horgan— comes forward to tell Sloane that he’s gotten it all wrong: Horgan’s the one who’s truly responsible for the little boy’s death and possibly others—not the pediatrician Sloane has just proven guilty.

Ordinarily, Sloane might have dismissed such a person as a crackpot, but something about this case has always troubled him—something that he couldn’t quite pinpoint. When Sloane tries to follow up with Horgan, he finds the man’s apartment a shambles— ransacked by unknown perpetrators. Horgan has vanished without a trace. Together with his longtime investigative partner Charles Jenkins, Sloane reexamines his clients’ son’s death and digs deeper into Horgan’s claims, forcing him to enter the billion-dollar, cutthroat toy industry. As Sloane gets closer to the truth, he trips a wire that leads to a shocking chain of events that nearly destroys him.

To get to the bottom of it all and find justice for the families harmed, Sloane must keep in check his overwhelming desire for revenge. Full of nail-bitingly tense action scenes as well as edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama, Bodily Harm finds Robert Dugoni at the very top of his game.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From Robert Dugoni, #1 Kindle bestselling author of MY SISTER’S GRAVE, comes a tale of corporate greed, espionage, and the lengths one good man will go to in the name of justice. Attorney David Sloane’s reputation as an unbeatable lawyer continues to rise, thanks to his latest big win in a medical malpractice case. But at the end of the trial, toy designer Kyle Horgan tells Sloane that the verdict was wrong: Horgan claims that he—and not the doctor Sloane has just proven guilty—is the one responsible for the little boy’s death—and possibly many more. Though Sloane knows he did his job well, something about this case never did quite add up in his mind. That inkling of doubt forces him to give Horgan’s declaration some consideration. But when Sloane visits Horgan’s apartment to follow-up, he finds it ripped apart, with Horgan nowhere to be found. Sloane and his longtime friend and investigative partner, Charles Jenkins, decide to reopen the evidence in the boy’s death, research Horgan’s claims, and get to the bottom of the toy industry’s dirty secrets. But the closer Sloane gets to a truth worth billions, the more incentive there is for someone to use any means necessary to keep him from finding it... With action in spades and top-form courtroom scenes, Dugoni cements his status as the heir to Grisham’s literary throne.
