The 7th Canon

De: Robert Dugoni

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

A riveting new legal thriller from the bestselling author of My Sister's Grave.

In San Francisco's seamy Tenderloin district, a teenage street hustler has been murdered in a shelter for boys. And the dedicated priest who runs the struggling home stands accused. But despite damning evidence that he's a killer—and worse—Father Thomas Martin stands by his innocence. And attorney Peter Donley stands with him.

For three years Donley has cut his legal teeth in his uncle's tiny, no-frills firm, where people come before profits. Just as Donley is poised to move on to a lucrative dream job, the shocking case lands in his lap, and he must put his future on hold while putting his courtroom skills to the test. But a ruthless DA seeking headlines and a brutal homicide cop bent on vengeance have their own agendas. Now, as he unearths the dirty secrets surrounding the case, Donley must risk his neck to save his client's life...and expose the face of true evil.

This was a great book to listen to. Engaging characters and an interesting plot. I enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend giving a listen.

Legal Thriller 80's Blast from the Past

The narrator did a great job with the male characters but lacked a relatable female voice. The story starts, of course, with a brutal murder. Almost from the beginning, the reader knows who the murderer is but the challenge is following the process of capturing all of the criminals. An enjoyable read despite some predictable moments.
