Her Deadly Game by Robert Dugoni
Robert Dugoni started his career by writing solid legal thrillers and now he’s gone back to his roots with the spectacular Her Deadly Game (Thomas and Mercer, 386 pages, $28.99).
Keera Duggan is a prosecutor at heart, that is until an affair with a co-worker waylays her career. With no other options, Keera goes to work on the other side of the aisle by joining her father’s firm as a defense attorney. Never mind the fact that the firm is already failing, Keera likes reclamation projects which is why she agrees to represent a wealthy investment fund mogul who may or may not have murdered his wife. Oh, and wouldn’t you know it, she’s up against her former lover from the district attorney’s office.
At its best, which is pretty much all the time, Her Deadly Game resembles the top titles from Michael Connelly’s Mickey Haller Lincoln Lawyer series. Little, of course, is what it seems, which is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Dugoni, who proves himself once again to be a masterful storyteller.
