2020-June Liar by Steve Cavanagh

It has not been possible to get the paper books due to the Coronavirus lockdown so how we will get on at the next meeting remains to be seen.

I downloaded the sample kindle book. It was enough to make me want to get the rest.
Two men who grew up together in New York, one became a recovering lawyer whose wife has disappeared, the other a missing persons tracer who is very wealthy calls upon his childhood lawyer friend, at the same time as the lawyer is served with a sub-poena for a case he never saw. The rich mans daughter has disappeared and he has a letter about it.  Looks like a good read.

Not often we get a good thriller for the reading group. NY raised Lawyer Eddie Flynn called on by a boyhood friend to defend him on the charge of killing his daughter. It is a long and convoluted court case with fast car chases, and people who arn't what you first thought they were. Lennies wife had a sister who was a druggie and the case against her killing her daughter years ago comes up as a side issue and then gets to be part of the case. I'll read more of his. -9 Wonderful how this Irish author and lawyer can write of American Law.
