NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

â€œLescroart never ceases to amaze his fans. The wit, the timing, the dialogueâ€”everything combines to give this author yet another bestseller and provide readers with a fast-paced, memorable thriller.â€ â€”Suspense Magazine

â€œThe narrative flows effortlessly and includes a Perry Masonâ€“worthy moment when Hardy manifests a bit of courtroom magic. Lescroart is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy great ensemble casts.â€ â€”Booklist

In John Lescroartâ€™s latest thriller, San Francisco attorney Dismas Hardy is called upon to investigate the murder of a wealthy man whose heirs are all potential suspects.

Dismas Hardy is looking forward to easing into retirement and reconnecting with his family after recovering from two glancing gunshot wounds courtesy of a recent client. But this plan is cut short when, against his wifeâ€™s wishes, he is pulled back into the courtroom by the murder of Grant Wagner, the steely owner of a successful family business. The prime suspect is Wagnerâ€™s bookkeeper, Abby Jarvis, a former client of Hardyâ€™s who had been receiving large sums of cash under-the-table from the companyâ€”but she insists that sheâ€™s innocent and Dismas wants to believe her.

As he prepares for trial, Dismas probes deeply into the Wagner clanâ€™s history, discovering dark secrets, jealous siblings, gold-digging girlfriends, startling betrayals, and menacing blackmailers. Suspense builds as the trial date looms, and the closer Dismas gets to the Wagners, the clearer it becomes that he has a large target painted on his back.

With John Lescroartâ€™s razor-sharp dialogue, intricate plotting and relentless pacing, Poison is a nail-biter that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
