Summary
From the bestselling author of A Killer’s Wife, Victor Methos’s acclaimed Desert Plains series continues with the saga of two brilliant defense attorneys and a client whose confession may not be what it seems.
Two couples cut to bits near a canyon close to the Nevada border. The police pull over blood-soaked Arlo Ward not far from the site of the grisly murders; he fully cooperates with the officers, grinning through a remorseless confession dripping with gory detail. Investigators find no murder weapon, but young, awkward Arlo’s confession is signed, taped, and delivered.
Defense attorney Dylan Aster and his partner, Lily Ricci, are two rising legal stars. They’re hesitant about pursuing the Arlo Ward case, as it seems like a slam dunk for the prosecution - Arlo was covered in the victims’ DNA and admitted to everything. But the state psychiatrist shares the impossible with Dylan: Arlo Ward is likely innocent. The man is racked with delusional schizophrenia, seizing on these murders as an opportunity for macabre attention.
Dylan can’t resist. He and Lily take on Arlo as their client, but once the trial commences, it’s clear that the real secrets and lies are just beginning.

“A straight-A legal thriller, with a final scene as satisfying as it is disturbing.” —Kirkus Reviews

Later on a speeding driver is stopped and covered in blood. He immediately confesses to the heinous crimes but he suffers from schizophrenia.
Defence attorneys Dylan Aster and his partner Lily Ricci decide to take the case. Dylan has received a job offer which would mean uprooting his sick mother and sister with learning difficulties but the money would mean he could properly take care of them but the work would not satisfy him. Will this be his last case???
The prosecution think they have a slam dunk of a case but Dylan thinks differently and is fighting to save their client Arlo from the death penalty.
There are twists and turns right to the end as Dylan and Lily dig deeper and recover a vital piece of evidence that the other side withheld.
I found myself thinking that Arlo is either very stupid or extremely clever. We soon find out that all is not what it seems and will true justice be served…..
A real page turner and somehow Victor Methos makes a courtroom drama into a riveting case.
