When Dismas Hardy agrees to clean up the caseload of re-cently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen, he thinks it will be easy. But one of the cases is far from small-time—the sensational clash between National Guard reservist Evan Scholler and an ex-Navy SEAL and priváté contractor named Ron Nolan. Two rapid-fire events in Iraq conspired to bring the men into fatal eonflict: Nolan's relationship with Evan's girlfriend, Tara, a beautiful schoolteacher back home in the States; followed by a deadly incident in which Nolan's apparent mistake results in the death of an innocent f Iraqi family as well as seven men in Evan's platoon. As the murky relationship between the U.S. government and its priváté contractors plays out in the personal drama of these two men, and the consequences become a desperate matter of life and death, Dismas Hardy begins to uncover a terrible and perilous truth that takes him far beyond the case and into the realm of assassination and treason.
From the treacherous streets of Iraq to the courtrooms of California, Betrayal is not only John Lescroart's most ambitious and provocative növel, it is a magnificent tour de force of pure storytelling. Vissza
