作品情報
誰が嘘を信じ、誰が嘘を操っているのかを追う、切れ味の鋭い法廷サスペンス。
『The Liar』はエディ・フリン・シリーズの一作で、富豪の娘の誘拐事件をめぐり、主人公が警察も法も届かない領域に踏み込む。法廷、捜査、裏社会の技術が絡み合い、誰が本当の支配者なのかをめぐる疑念が最後まで緊張を保つ。日本語版の単行本・文庫は確認できないため ja は null とした。
レビュー要約
-
息をつかせない筋運びと、弁護士の過去を利用した駆け引きが支持されている。事件の仕掛けが次々に反転するため、シリーズ読者だけでなく法廷ものを好む読者にも入りやすい。

Steve Cavanagh in Höchstform!
Ein weiterer Roman mit Eddie Flynn, spannend von der ersten Seite an. Seitdem ich einen Band von Steve Cavanagh gekauft habe musste ich einfach weitere haben.
