Fans of Dismas Hardy will welcome this 14th outing in Lescroart's legal series. Hardy first appeared in 1989's Dead Irish as a 38-year-old, between careers and between marriages. Now, at 60, he's a respected, successful San Francisco attorney. With their children grown, he and wife Frannie have begun to explore their new life as empty-nesters. But before Hardy even has time to settle into his new fitness regimen, a disturbing case presents itself when Frannie's brother, Moses McGuire, is charged with murder. The victim is Rick Jessup, a disreputable political aide who at one time had unsuccessfully pursued McGuire's beautiful daughter, Brittany. Not only must Hardy and his old pal police detective Abe Glitsky sift through the conflicting evidence that surfaces about Jessup, but they're forced to deal with recovering alcoholic McGuire's fall from the wagon, which threatens to reveal the long-kept secret that could end the careers of Dismas and Abe. Verdict Like wine, both Lescroart and Hardy have improved with age. Don't let readers miss this one. [See Prepub Alert, 11/12/12.]-Nancy McNicol, Hamden P.L., CT (c) Copyright 2013.
