Description:
Mark Darrow grew up in small-town Ohio with no real advantages. But thanks to Lionel Farr, a professor at a nearby college, Darrow became an excellent scholar/athlete and, later, a superb trial lawyer. Now Farr offers his protégé a job as his alma mater’s new president, which Darrow accepts. But being back on campus opens old wounds. Sixteen years ago, on the night of his greatest football triumph, Darrow found the body of a black female student at the base of the college bell tower, known as the Spire…Darrow’s best friend was charged with the murder, and was sent to prison for life. But Darrow is about to discover that the case against his college friend left crucial questions unanswered. Despite his new obligations—and his deepening attachment to Farr’s beautiful though troubled daughter—Darrow begins an inquiry into the murder and is soon convinced that the real killer is still at large…and that his own life is surely at risk.DIVDIVDEGREE OF GUILT“A page-turner.”—The New York Times Book Review“Compulsively readable.”—People“One intense courtroom clash after another...An intelligent and gripping thriller.”—The Washington Post“Flamboyant and entertaining.”—The Boston Globe“Electrifying.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer“One of the year’s best thrillers…Superb characterizations and intense dialogue make this utterly compelling reading.”—Library Journal“Absorbing.”—Publishers WeeklyECLIPSE“Passionate…exciting [and] eye-opening, page by page.”—Washington Post“Compelling and credible…guaranteed to rouse you to thought.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch“This stellar legal thriller both informs and entertains… Patterson has exerted all his considerable skill in creating a nightmare atmosphere that will cling to readers long after the last page is turned.”—Publishers Weekly(starred review)“A satisfying fable that pits a hero who deeply believes in the rule of law against a violent, lawless regime that holds all the cards.”—Kirkus Reviews“Nearly flawless—by the time you realize how well Patterson is writing, you are already caught up in this novel.”—San Francisco Chronicle“Suspenseful—pervasive danger as real as the actual reality.”—New York Daily News“A terrific legal thriller populated by rich, well drawn characters [Patterson] magnificently brings to life.
