Poison: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

From the bestselling author whose prose “matches the best of John Grisham and Scott Turow” (Providence Journal) comes a gripping thriller offering attorney Dismas Hardy as he investigates the murder of the wealthy guy whose heirs are all potential suspects.

Finally recovered from two gunshot wounds, Dismas Hardy is getting excited about easing into retirement and reconnecting along with his family. But he is pulled back into the courtroom when Offer Wagner, the steely owner of a successful family business, is certainly murdered. The best suspect is usually Wagner’s bookkeeper Abby Jarvis, a previous client of Hardy’s, who had been receiving large sums of cash under-the-table from the company-but she insists that she’s innocent.

Preparing for trial, Dismas investigates the Wagner clan and discovers dark, twisted secrets, jealous siblings, gold-digging girlfriends, betrayals, and blackmail. The closer he reaches the Wagners, the clearer it turns into that Dismas has a target decorated on his back again. With razor-sharp dialogue and whip-smart plotting, Poison once again demonstrates that “Lescroart is definitely a get good at craftsman” (Associated Press).
