DAMAGE CONTROL by Robert Dugoni
With his New York Times bestselling debut novel, The Jury Master, Robert Dugoni was compared to a young John Grisham. Now this brilliant storyteller returns with a thriller about a gifted attorney whose perfect world is torn apart by secrets and a crime only she can solve – if she can stay alive.
DAMAGE CONTROL A rising star at her prestigious Seattle law firm, Dana Hill knows all about stress. She pours herself into her work and family with all the energy she has.
But her carefully balance life is about to turn upside down. First a frightening medical diagnosis forces her to re-assess her roles as a lawyer, mother, and wife to a man she suddenly no longer trusts. Then her life is rocked further by the shocking and brutal murder of her twin brother.
With a smart, iconoclastic detective named Michael Logan as her only ally, Dana dives into the investigation, relentlessly seeking answers to who killed her brother and why. Logan cannot believe that the murder was anything more than a robbery gone terrible wrong. But when Dana uncovers a priceless handcrafted diamond earring in the debris of her twin’s trashed home, the case becomes more sinister. Dana is sure the jewel is the key to her twin’s secret. And Logan becomes convinced it can help stop a string of cold-blooded murders that have followed in the wake of her brother’s death.
As Dana and Logan chase the faint trail of evidence from Seattle to Maui, they threaten the reputation, career, and future of a powerful man who will stop at nothing to protect what he considers his. But for Dana, for whom time has a special meaning, nothing – not even her own life --- is more important than finding the truth. She has moved beyond fear and beyond anyone’s attempts at damage control.
