Publisher's summary

The Amazon Charts best-selling series.

From the author of Dead Certain comes a twisting novel of friendship, love, and marriage - and all their cunning and deadly betrayals.

Back in 1986, Clint Broden was a novice New York defense attorney building a family with his wife, Anne, and impatient for his career to take off. That’s when his defense of his closest friend, Nick Zamora, made headlines. In spite of his lingering suspicions that his soul mate since childhood had a secret, Clint was dedicated to believing Nick hadn’t murdered his new bride.

Three decades later, Clint is now the celebrated go-to attorney for the rich and famous. Nick is a lauded literary superstar living his dreams in Los Angeles. Though separated by 30 years and 3,000 miles, they’re still bound by one thing - the trial that tested the limits of their friendship.

After all these years, the last thing Clint expects is to be pulled back into Nick’s disruptive life. But this time, his motives for getting involved might be different from proving his old friend’s innocence. It could be Clint’s last chance to force a reckoning with the sins of the past.

predictable, but not bad.

easy read, easy to predict, not bad, but not great. worth your time. calling it a "legal thriller" is a bit of a stretch.

Adam Mitzner always has a good twist in the end

Adam Mitzner always has a good twist toward the end of his novels. I'll be glad to listen to/read more of his work.

Great Story - difficult narration

Really enjoyed this story and the twists that it took. Predictable but still was an enjoyable story. The hardest part was the male narrator - Chris Andrew Ciulla - there were times when he pulled off characters flawlessly - but most times his inflections were in the wrong places and it made such a difference in the overall tone of the sentence. Rather than getting carried away in the story I was startled back each time it sounded wrong. Despite that, this book is worth the listen!

Very good book!

Enjoyed this very much. Lots of surprises!
Also very well performed. Done in three parts over about 35 years

Mitzner never fails to satisfy

This book was very good. I’m trying to think of some profound words to say about it but I just can’t think of anything except buy the book. It’s well worth a credit!!

An excellent courtroom novel.

its amazing how the author defines a male best friend dynamic which could never happen between females. He has a gift for describing the good guy against the bad guy and we are immediately pulled into the conflict with a need to see the good guy rewarded and the bad guy punished. I highly recommend this gripping narrative. it wont disapoint. excellent choice of narrator.

A must read

I have read every book Adam Mitzner has ever written and he continues to deliver the goods with his latest book The Best Friend. Turow and Grisham have nothing on Adam and I cannot wait to see one of Adam’s books made into a movie.

Lots of twists and turns

I've listened to several Adam Mitzner books and have enjoyed his work. This did not disappoint. It kept me wondering till the end. A good summer read!

Another amazing story!

If you haven't read an Adam Mintz ěr book then you are missing out. His books are legal mysteries and they have heart. The characters come to life and are very believable. This one is no exception. Read it, it's worth the time.

Well Written

This author is talented and this book definitely fits in this category. I almost gave it four stars because I expected a more complicated ending. It's not a bad ending. It gets resolved. It's just a regular life ending and I somehow thought the plot was building up to something way more complicated, but that was just my expectations, not a disappointment in the plot. I will read more from this author.
