Synopsis
Dynamite defense attorney Joseph Antonelli has never lost a case--or felt the sting of conscience for letting the guilty go free. "I can deceive anyone," he says, "and no one more quickly or more completely than myself." Now the man he most admires, the honorable Judge Rifkin, has asked him a favor: Defend a drug dealer accused of raping his twelve-year-old stepdaughter. Yet Antonelli's acceptance of the case sets in motion an explosive chain of corruption, betrayal, and murder that will leave no one unscathed. . . .

The Defense is a nice book....Law genre fans should read it for a taste of something different. And people who aren't so big on law mysteries (which, according to Grisham sales figures, includes FOUR PEOPLE) might enjoy it as well, since the voice of Antonelli makes for a compelling character.
