title: A Defense for the Dead (Tom Doherty Associates Books)
author:  Michael Fredrickson 
description: Massachusetts lawyer Jimmy Morrisey has no business taking on work that won't pay, considering his solo practice is at a crawl and his wife is battling cancer. But when two FBI agents darken his door, the news they deliver piques his curiosity--and for good reason. Having just arrested the serial murderer known as Van Gogh (named for his habit of lopping off the victim's right ear), the feds uncovered in the perp's residence a photo of a woman with Jimmy's home and work address on the back. Jimmy doesn't know William Wolff (aka Van Gogh), nor does he know the woman in the photo. The agents seem content to let this loose end dangle, but Jimmy wants answers. His meddling uncovers disturbing facts that make him the target of another killer. Jimmy makes a fine hero in the modern, low-key style--flawed, funny, and likable. This is Fredrickson's third thriller, all with different attorney protagonists. Let's hope Jimmy breaks the pattern and comes back again. <i>Mary Frances Wilkens</i><br><i>Copyright &#169; American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>
