Book Review:
The Simple Truth is another gripping, fast-paced thriller from master storyteller David Baldacci. Michael Fiske, a Supreme Court law clerk, makes a fateful decision when he takes a letter from a death row inmate named Rufus Harmison. The letter contains a shocking secret that could overturn Harmison's conviction – but it also seals Michael's fate. He is murdered before he can reveal what he knows. Enter John Fiske, Michael's brother – a former cop turned small-town attorney. John travels to Washington, D.C., determined to find out why his brother was killed and what it has to do with a crime committed twenty-five years ago. As he digs deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. This book is sizzling, terrifying, and simply the best when it comes to legal suspense. Baldacci ratchets up the tension on every page. A must-read for fans of John Grisham and anyone who loves a good courtroom thriller.
