A Killer's Kiss

Prescott m'a acheté, c'est un fait. Si je n'avais pas cédé, Victor Carl, avocat miteux survivant de causes miteuses, jamais je ne serais entré dans son prestigieux cabinet, le plus gros de Philadelphie, mon rêve de toujours.
L'affaire qu'il me propose est simple. L'intouchable conseiller municipal Jimmy Moore, son client, est accusé de racket et de meurtre avec son complice Concannon. Prescott s'occupe de Moore. Je me charge du larbin, avec mission de le laisser plonger à la place de son patron. Facile. Je commence à voir la vie avec un certain optimisme.
Une chose me chiffonne cependant. Concannon ne vaut pas cher, c'est certain, mais Moore est une vraie ordure. Puis-je envoyer un innocent dans le couloir de la mort ? Ai-je vraiment le choix ?

Les Prevaricateurs - Occasion

A stained legal career spent defending mob enforcers, two-bit hoods, and other dregs of humanity has left Philadelphia lawyer Victor Carl jaded and resentful -- until a new client appears to offer him an escape and a big payday. Caroline Shaw, the desperate scion of a prominent Main Line dynasty, wants him to prove that her sister Jacqueline's recent suicide was, in fact, murder before Caroline suffers a similar fate. It is a case that propels Carl out of his courtroom element and into a murky world of fabulous wealth, bloody family legacies, and dark secrets. Victor Carl would love nothing more than to collect his substantial fee and get out alive. But a bitter truth is dragging him in dangerously over his head, and ever closer to the shattering revelation that the most terrifying darkness of all lies not in the heart of a Central American jungle...but in the twisted soul of man.

Bitter Truth

Vice De Forme (Victor Carl, #3)

Hard-luck Philadelphia lawyer Victor Carl is just itching for the opportunity to sell out. Then good fortune comes knocking at his door in the guise of William Prescott III, a blue-blood attorney from one of the city's most prestigious firms. Prescott wants Victor to represent a councilman's aide who is on trial, along with his boss, for extortion, arson, and murder. It's the juiciest, highest-profile courtroom extravaganza in years -- and all Carl has to do is show up, shut up, and follow Prescott's lead. But it soon becomes clear that somene's setting him and his client up to take a long, hard fall. Victor Carl may be desperate and unethical but he's no one's patsy. And to survive in this legal snake pit of secrets, lies, and lethal double-crosses, he's going to play the game his way.
