After graduating from Harvard Law with his closest friend, John
McKedrick, Michael Knight practices with the U.S. Attorney’s
office and with a prestigious trial firm in Boston, then Michael
and his mentor, the legendary trial attorney Lex Devlin, form
Devlin & Knight to do criminal defense work, while John becomes
sole associate of a notorious mob lawyer.
Michael never lost hope that John McKedrick would escape to
“cleaner pastures”—until John is murdered in a car bombing
bearing the signature of his questionable clientele. How could
two friends who were so close have taken such wildly divergent
paths? In the wake of McKedrick’s murder, three men who took
their own deviating paths will meet for the first time in forty
years.
Matt Ryan, a priest; Dominic Santangelo, a Mafia don; and Lex
Devlin put the past aside to focus on a present concern:
Dominic’s son has been charged with John McKedrick’s murder. At
Lex’s urging, Michael Knight reluctantly agrees to represent the
alleged bomber.
In building a defense, Michael is drawn into a high-stakes art
fraud that leads him from the seediest parts of Boston to the
sophisticated Amsterdam inner sanctum of international crime.
