FUGITIVE by Phillip Margolin - SIGNED BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY
See all titles by Phillip Margolin.New York Times bestsellling author Phillip Margolin is back with his best loved character, defense attorney Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of Wild justice and Proof Positive, in this twisting tale of international intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the past... and into the crosshairs of a killer.
When the editor-in-chief of World News magazine offers Amanda
Jaffe a $500,000 retainer to defend Charlie Marsh, an ex-con turned
bestselling spiritual guru, in bestseller Margolin's entertaining
fourth thriller to feature the Portland, Oregon, lawyer (after Proof Positive),
Amanda can't say no. Marsh, who fled the country in 1997 after being
accused of murdering Congressman Arnold Pope Jr., has spent the 12
years since in the African country of Batanga "under the protection of
its benevolent ruler," Jean-Claude Baptiste, whose threat to kill Marsh
for sleeping with his favorite wife has prompted Marsh to return to the
U.S. to stand trial. Toss in Pope's revenge-seeking father, several
homicidal maniacs and the evil head of the Batanga secret service, and
you've got a plot set on full boil. While some readers will figure out
the identity of Pope's real killer early on, all will enjoy following
the resourceful Amanda as she puts the puzzle pieces together.
