Author Dana Stabenow shared her review of Perry’s Pro Bono.
Teenaged Charlie Warren rescues–mostly–his mother from a grifter who has married her for her money. Fourteen years later he’s a lawyer in L.A. when another woman who is being robbed of her savings walks into his office, who is then kidnapped outside his office but not for the reason any of them (or you) think.
And the chase is on. Charlie is a smart, capable hero whose bullshit detector is better than just about anyone else’s and which keeps him a step and a half ahead of everyone (who appear to be legion) who is trying to stop him from uncovering their crimes and recovering the money they have embezzled. A thrill-house ride from Perry this outing, who saves the creepiest part for the last chapters, but I won’t spoil. Recommended.
Thomas Perry is the bestselling author of over twenty novels, including Murder Book, the critically acclaimed Jane Whitefield series, The Old Man, and The Butcher’s Boy, which won the Edgar Award. He lives in Southern California.
