Items related to The Second Chair (Dismas Hardy)
#1 New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart weaves together a story of a privileged youth on trial for murder and an entire city on the brink of panic in this suspensful and stylish Dismas Hardy legal thriller.
Although he appears to have reached the top, Dismas Hardy, rainmaker and managing partner of his thriving San Francisco law firm, has lost his faith in the justice system. When his young associate, Amy Wu, brings in a high profile, controversial double murder case, he decides to sit second chair—in defense of a wealthy, privileged young man even he has trouble believing.
At the same time, Hardy’s friend Abe Glitsky has just been promoted to deputy chief of the Investigations Bureau, and has trouble of his own. Hounded by a hostile media, distanced from day-to-day police work, Glitsky must struggle against a wave of violence that has put the city on the verge of panic.
As the tension builds around them, Hardy and Amy’s search for the truth will take them down a perilous path, and force Hardy to face his own demons in order to clear his client—and save himself.

From AudioFile:
This latest Dismas Hardy/Abe Glitsky legal thriller presents a lot of change in the series. After the death of his mentor, Hardy, formerly a dedicated sole practitioner, has become a managing partner of a larger law firm. Glitsky is having problems of his own in his new elevated role as deputy chief of investigations. Even the reader, formerly David Laurence, is new. Though for the first few minutes you miss Laurence's scratchy voice, you quickly come to appreciate David Colacci's deep tones and crisp narration. While Hardy second chairs a murder trial for troubled associate Amy Wu, also a new character, Glitsky hunts for a serial killer who apparently executes his victims at random. There are both familiar and new twists here, which Colacchi handles equally well. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
