    Description
    Product Description:
      New York Times bestseller John Lescroart returns with an ambitious, torn- from- today?s-headlines thriller featuring his trademark blend of real people and real suspense.

    John Lescroart?s millions of fans have been waiting three years for the return of San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy and his buddy, detective Abe Glitsky?and in that time John Lescroart?s popularity has continued to soar. Now, Hardy and Glitsky reunite in a story filled with the big themes that are worthy of them?the intersection of love, betrayal, and a desperate search for the truth in a critical matter of national security.
    R When Dismas Hardy agrees to clean up the caseload of recently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen, he thinks it will be easy. But one of the cases is far from small-time?the sensational clash between National Guard reservist Evan Scholler and an ex-Navy SEAL and private contractor named Ron Nolan. Two rapid-fire events in Iraq conspired to bring the men into fatal conflict: Nolan?s relationship with Evan?s girlfriend, Tara, a beautiful school-teacher back home in the states, followed by a deadly incident in which Nolan?s apparent mistake results in the death of an innocent Iraqi family as well as seven men in Evan?s platoon. As the murky relationship between the US government and its private contractors plays out in the personal drama of these two men, and the consequences become a desperate matter of life and death, Dismas Hardy begins to uncover a terrible and perilous truth that takes him far beyond the case and into the realm of assassination and treason.

    From the treacherous streets of Iraq to the courtrooms of California, Betrayal is not only John Lescroart?s most ambitious and provocative novel, it is a magnificent tour de force of pure storytelling.

    Betrayal Review
    John Lescroart's BETRAYAL receives David Colacci's warm voice and experienced style as it tells of a San Francisco defense attorney Dismus Hardy and detective Abe Glitsky who agree to clean up a fellow attorney's caseload - only to discover a detailed, dangerous case awaits resolution. A host of perils and a question of innocence enhances a gripping narrative.
    Dismas - 4 stars
    Betrayal Review
    I am a great fan of Dismas Hardy. Every time I wash my black iron skillet I feel him looking over my shoulder telling me to just use salt to clean it.
    I wait patiently for each book to come out.

    Bait-and-switch - 2 stars
    Betrayal Review
    For those of you expecting another great Dismas Hardy/Abe Glitsky novel, don't be fooled by the book jacket. Hardy/Glitzky appear in the first ten pages and then not for another 250-300 pages, reappearing only for the last 110. This book should not really be advertised as featuring these characters. I'm glad I got it from the library or I really would have been unhappy.
    I always enjoy Dismas - 4 stars
    Betrayal Review
    This one had a little Dismas in the end and the story in the beginning with no Dismas. Still, I always enjoy the characters and have watched their lives change and progress. I read this one on tape and the audio presenter did a good job.
    Fast-Paced, Hard-Hitting Thriller - 5 stars
    Betrayal Review
    Dismas Hardy has to take over the Evan Scholler case, because Scholler's lawyer has disappeared. Scholler has been accused of killing ex-Navy Seal Ron Nolan. Nolan and Evan became friends in Iraq and Evan told Nolan about his girlfriend Tara back home and once back in the States Nolan courts Tara, even while he's spinning lies and deception to break up the couple.

    Nolan is not a nice guy. In Iraq he's shot at and probably killed civilians and he's killed gangbangers in the States and that's not all, he's probably killed a rich Iraqi and his wife. Anyway once he's found dead the police zero in on Evan, who suffered a head injury in Iraq, which causes him partial memory loss. So did he kill Evan? Even he doesn't know, so Dismas Hardy really has his case cut out for him this time.

    John Lescroat writes great thrillers and he doesn't disappoint this time. His characters are well drawn and believable and as usual he ends the book with a twist in the tale that you won't see coming.
