After receiving ten thousand dollars and an anonymous note in the mail, attorney Steve Winslow becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Reprint. LJ. K. PW.

Reviews

Hitting the bull's eye again in the sequel to The Baxter Trust , Hailey continues the story of New Yorker Steve Winslow, a lawyer with only one client. His smart, feisty secretary, Tracy Garvin, is bored with little to do but perks up when a strange package comes to the office. It contains $10,000 and an unsigned request for the lawyer's services. Winslow, his private eye pal Mark Taylor and Garvin form a team to trace the "client" but find him dead. Satisfying Garvin's desire for action, the narrative segues to a court room where society heiress Marilyn Harding is on trial for murdering the mystery man, a blackmailer. Now Winslow pulls a stunt that wins a prize for sheer chutzpah, with fantastic results. Told almost entirely in witty, personalizing dialogue, the novel will have the same tonic effects on readers as intrigue has on gutsy Garvin.

Laid-back New York lawyer and would-be actor Steve Winslow receives an anonymous $10,000 cash retainer in the mail. His search for the client's identity drops Winslow in the middle of a murder case. Aided by ubiquitous private detective Mark Taylor and zealous mystery reader/secretary Tracy Garvin, Winslow ends up defending the suspected murderer with legal flair and semantic panache. This likable triumvirate provides appealing distraction, while the slow-boiling plot ranges from office boredom to clutching at straws to meaty courtroom dialogue and figurative leaps of faith. Another winner from the author of The Baxter Trust .-- REK
