Les pistes sont minces, et nombreux sont ceux à tout faire pour ne pas remuer le passé. Tracy comprend bientôt qu''elle devra mettre en danger bien plus que sa carrière pour éviter de devenir la prochaine victime. " Le roi incontesté du thriller juridique " The Providence Journal

Tras resolver el misterio del asesino de su hermana, la inspectora Tracy Crosswhite retoma su labor policíaca. Le aguarda un nuevo caso en el norte de Seattle, donde se han sucedido varias muertes de chicas jóvenes en moteles baratos. Todas están conectadas entre sí y son obra de un mismo asesino. Las pistas escasean y el número de víctimas continúa en aumento cuando Tracy sitúa la clave de resolución del misterio en cierta investigación criminal ocurrida diez años atrás. Sin embargo, otros, incluido su superior, Johnny Nolasco, preferirían no seguir ese camino. ¿Por qué? Crosswhite necesitará dar con todas las respuestas si no quiere convertirse ella misma en la próxima víctima.

While investigating the hit-and-run death of a young boy, Tracey Crosswhite, discovers the suspect is an active-duty serviceman at a local naval base. He''s cleared, however, after a piece of evidence goes missing and Crosswhite must fight for justice.

When a woman''s body is discovered submerged in a crab pot in the chilly waters of Puget Sound, Detective Tracy Crosswhite finds herself with a tough case to untangle. Before they can identify the killer, Tracy and her colleagues on the Seattle PD''s Violent Crimes Section must figure out who the victim is. Her autopsy, however, reveals she may have gone to great lengths to conceal her identity. So who was she running from?

"Durant l''enquête sur la mort d''un jeune garçon renversé par une voiture qui a pris la fuite, la détective de la Criminelle de Seattle, Tracy Crosswhite, fait une découverte surprenante : le suspect est un militaire en service actif sur une base navale locale. Après la disparition d''une pièce à conviction cruciale, l''homme est disculpé par un tribunal militaire. Mais Tracy a conscience de ne pouvoir tourner le dos à ce type d''injustice. Lorsqu''elle découvre les liens du chauffard avec une récente épidémie d''overdoses d''héroïne, elle comprend qu''il ne s''agit pas simplement d''une affaire où l''armée protège les siens. Le problème est plus profond et le suspect ne travaillait pas seul. En approchant de la vérité derrière cette insidieuse conspiration, elle se met elle-même en danger. Et les seules personnes sur lesquelles elle peut compter sont peut-être celles auxquelles elle ne peut plus faire confiance.

Tracy Crosswhite przez lata kwestionowała fakty dotyczące zniknięcia jej siostry. Nie wierzy, że Edmund House, przestępca seksualny oskarżony i skazany za zamordowanie Sary, jest faktycznym sprawcą tej zbrodni. Licząc, że uda jej się odnależć prawdziwego mordercę i wymierzyć sprawiedliwość, Tracy wstępuje do policji i zostaje detektywem w wydziale zabójstw w Seattle, poświęcając się bez reszty tropieniu przestępców.

New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni returns with his most exhilarating legal thriller to date, a pulse-pounding story of corporate greed, espionage, and the lengths one man is willing to go for justice. Bodily Harm opens with a big win for David Sloane and his new partner, Tom Pendergrass, in a malpractice case centered on the death of a young child. But on the heels of this seeming victory, an unlikely character—toy designer Kyle Horgan— comes forward to tell Sloane that he’s gotten it all wrong: Horgan’s the one who’s truly responsible for the little boy’s death and possibly others—not the pediatrician Sloane has just proven guilty. Ordinarily, Sloane might have dismissed such a person as a crackpot, but something about this case has always troubled him—something that he couldn’t quite pinpoint. When Sloane tries to follow up with Horgan, he finds the man’s apartment a shambles— ransacked by unknown perpetrators. Horgan has vanished without a trace. Together with his longtime investigative partner Charles Jenkins, Sloane reexamines his clients’ son’s death and digs deeper into Horgan’s claims, forcing him to enter the billion-dollar, cutthroat toy industry. As Sloane gets closer to the truth, he trips a wire that leads to a shocking chain of events that nearly destroys him. To get to the bottom of it all and find justice for the families harmed, Sloane must keep in check his overwhelming desire for revenge. Full of nail-bitingly tense action scenes as well as edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama, Bodily Harm finds Robert Dugoni at the very top of his game.

New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni tackles hot-button issues in this riveting legal thriller featuring attorney David Sloane. When a widow asks Sloane to take her case against the military, Sloane knows it''s a lost cause but can''t turn her down, even if it puts his own life--and the lives of his family--in dire jeopardy. Just minutes after winning a $1.6 million wrongful-death verdict, attorney David Sloane confronts the one case that threatens to blemish his unbeaten record in the courtroom. Beverly Ford wants Sloane to sue the United States government and military in the mysterious death of her husband, James, a national guardsman killed in Iraq. While a decades-old military doctrine might make Ford''s case impossible to win, Sloane, a former soldier himself, is compelled to find justice for the widow and her four children in what is certain to become the biggest challenge of his career. With little hard evidence to go on, Sloane calls on his friend, reclusive former CIA agent turned private investigator Charles Jenkins, to track down the other men serving with Ford the night he died. Alarmingly, two of the four who returned home alive didn''t stay that way for long, and though the mission''s wheelchairbound commander now works for a civilian contractor, he refuses to talk. The final -- and youngest -- soldier is also the most elusive, but he''s their only shot at discovering the truth -- if Sloane and Jenkins can keep him alive long enough to tell it. Meanwhile, Sloane isn''t the only one on a manhunt. As he propels his case into a federal courtroom, those seeking to hide the truth threaten Sloane''s family, forcing his new wife Tina and stepson Jake into hiding, where they become the targets of a relentless killer. Now Sloane must race to uncover what really happened on that fatal mission, not only to bring justice to a family wronged but to keep himself and the people closest to him from becoming the next casualties....
