Amid the flash and din of Boston's Chinese New Year's celebration, a man is murdered In Boston’s Chinatown, an elderly man is shot while watching the Chinese New Year’s parade from his window. Anthony Bradley, the son of an African American judge, is standing across the street at the time, and is immediately arrested for the crime. Michael Knight, a young lawyer who's going places, is surprised when Judge Bradley asks him to defend his son in such a high-profile and politically delicate case. Luckily, Knight finds powerful support from Lex Devlin, a senior partner at his firm. Once the foremost criminal defense attorney in Boston, Devlin has mysteriously withdrawn from defense work in recent years. As Knight and Devlin investigate and prepare their client's defense, Knight is forced to confront the murky allegations that eclipsed his mentor's career and to enter into the shadow of gangland Chinatown. From the halls of Harvard to the streets of Chinatown, Knight doggedly pursues an investigation that involves drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, and a corruption scandal that could bring down the most powerful people in Boston.Perfect for fans of Dennis Lehane and Alafair Burke While all of the novels in the Knight and Devlin Thriller Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is:Neon Dragon Frame-Up Black Diamond Deadly Diamonds Fatal Odds High Stakes
Wow, what a great read! I won't rehash the plot since others before me have done a fine job. But I will tell you what I loved about this book. The first page grabbed my undivided attention and kept me eagerly reading until the end. I felt that I really got to know the characters. The relationship between Michael Knight, the young attorney, and Lex Devlin, the older somewhat "tarnished" attorney, was very heartwarming. I loved the underlying theme of respect, and restoration of respect, that ran between the two attorneys.The author wrote with such wonderful descriptive language that I felt like I was watching a film. I could visualize the scenes as if I were there myself. And the plot twists just kept on coming! This was just a great detective, courtroom, mystery, drama! Bravo! I am on my way to download John Dobbyn's next mystery Frame-Up! More Devlin/Knight books please Mr. Dobbyn!
