Bretrayal By John Lescroart


Attorney Dismas Hardy takes over the case load of a lawyer that recently disappeared and finds himself involved in murder, conspiracy, assassination and treason. The setting is contemporary in Iraq and in California; the plot involves the hundreds of millions of dollars that passes between the United States government and private contractors for construction and protection that is never spent for it’s stated purpose but rather finds it’s way into the pockets of the big contractors. When a major player for a large contractor is responsible for a fire fight that kills innocents and almost wipes out the team of US soldiers that were with him, his superiors think it necessary to kill the remaining witnesses because an investigation might disclose their money skimming operations.
