Description
Bestselling author Thomas Perry will discuss his new thriller, Pro Bono, in this installment of "Author Hour in Massachusetts."
About Thomas: Thomas Perry is the bestselling author of thirty two novels, including the critically acclaimed Jane Whitefield series, "The Butcher's Boy," which "Parade" included in its list of 101 Best Mystery Books of All Time, and "Metgzer's Dog" which NPR listeners selected as one of the 100 Best Killer Thrillers of All Time. His book, "The Old Man," inspired the television series starring Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, and Amy Brenneman. He lives in Southern California.
About Pro Bono: A tenacious attorney grapples with a dangerous group of thieves in this new thriller from the author of The Old Man. Charles Warren, Los Angeles attorney, has dedicated his career to aiding people in financial straits. He is particularly skilled at the art of recovering assets that have been embezzled or hidden. In his newest case, helping a beautiful young widow find the money missing from her late husband’s investment accounts, Charlie recognizes a familiar scheme―one that echoes the con job that targeted his own widowed mother many years before, and that led him, as a teenager, to commit a crime of retribution that still weighs on his conscience. Charlie can’t get the present case out of his mind, but within hours of starting his investigation, he is followed, shot at, and has his briefcase stolen. It’s clear that someone doesn’t want him following the trail of the missing money but, as Charlie continues to pursue answers, he quickly becomes too entangled in the web of fraud, betrayal, and career criminals surrounding the theft to escape its deadly snare.
A nail-biting tale of conspiracy and pursuit from Thomas Perry, “a dominating force in the world of contemporary suspense thrillers” ("Publishers Weekly"), "Pro Bono" will have readers looking over their shoulders as constantly as they keep turning pages.
