I actually lost interest in this story. I don't know if the abridgement wasn't very good or if the story would have been boring even in an unabridged form. It helped me through a few days' worth of commutes, but I thought it was a mediocre story.
Abridged, 5 CDs, approximately 6 hours, read by Margaret Whitton
Synopsis:
Daniel Ames is an associate at Reed, Briggs, Portland's most prestigious law firm, earning more money than he ever imagined possible.
When a charismatic civil litigator sues the firm's biggest client for manufacturing a drug that he claims causes unspeakable birth defects, Daniel is certain the claim has no merit. But as he begins to investigate, his world comes tumbling down around him. His work is sabotaged, he's accused of professional incompetence, and he's fired. Twelve hours later he is arrested for murder.
Daniel scrambles to clear his name and save his reputation—and in the process unearths a trail of deceit. But someone doesn't want this trail explored, and Daniel becomes the target of a vicious killer who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from being revealed.
Phillip Margolin is the author of ten New York Times bestsellers, including Sleeping Beauty and Gone, But Not Forgotten. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
Margaret Whitton's performing career includes extensive work on and off Broadway, numerous television appearances, and roles in such films as Major League, The Man Without a Face, and Ironweed.
