Title: Ninth Entry in the Excellent Hardy & Glitsky Series
Review: The First Law, by John Lescroart, is the 9th entry in the excellent series featuring defense attorney Dismas Hardy and his longtime friend San Francisco Police Department Homicide Investigation Specialist Lieutenant Abe Glitsky. This book focuses on police corruption and an attack on Hardy's longtime mentor David Freeman. Less a legal thriller than other books in the series, this books notches up the action in which the Hardy and Glitsky face several tough choices that will factor in books to follow.This is great reading, and well worth a four star rating. Enjoy.For those new to this outstanding series, the order of books is as follows:Dead IrishThe VigHard EvidenceThe 13th JurorThe Mercy RuleNothing but the truthThe HearingThe OathThe First LawThe Second ChairThe MotiveBetrayal& A Plague of Secrets [scheduled for release in July 2009]I personally recommend reading them in order for the best experience. The characters evolve and are fully realized.
