From New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart, "the master of the legal thriller" (Chicago Sun-Times), comes this riveting suspense novel featuring fan-favorite Dismas Hardy and detective Abe Glitsky on the hunt for clues about a missing woman.On the evening before Thanksgiving, Hal Chase, a guard in the San Francisco County Jail, drives to the airport to pick up his stepbrother for the weekend. When they return, Hal's wife, Katie, has disappeared without a clue. By the time Dismas Hardy hears about this, Katie has been missing for five days and the original Missing Persons case has become a suspected homicide--with Hal as the prime suspect. And the lawyer he wants for his defense is none other than Hardy himself. Hardy calls on his friend, former homicide detective Abe Glitsky, to look into the case, and there proves to be no shortage of possible suspects aside from Hal. As he probes further, Glitsky learns of an incident at the San Francisco jail, where Hal works--only one of many questionable inmate deaths that have taken place there. Then, as more clues surface, Hal is arrested and finds himself an inmate in the very jail where he used to work, a place full of secrets he knows all too well. Against this backdrop of conspiracy and corruption, ambiguous motives and suspicious alibis, an obsessed Glitsky closes in on the elusive truth. As other deaths begin to pile up he realizes, perhaps too late, that the next victim might be himself.

It pains me to give this book (from my favorite series) only 4 stars. It had all the best elements (Dismas Hardy, Wes Farrell AND Abe Glitsky) together in a complex case. These characters are awesome people; I consider them to be princes of the American police procedural.
It didn't bother me that the murderer was obvious fairly early-on. What bothered me is that John Lescroart (as fine a wordsmith as there is) allowed Abe Glitsky to make so many mistakes! Abe, in my estimation, is the consummate professional; he just wouldn't have made those mistakes!
Since this is Lescroart's 15th book in the series, it must be getting hard to come up with new ways to allow a former police inspector, a district attorney and a defense attorney to remain friends and still have the tension that is part of their conflicting roles.
The story starts out simply; a jail guard's wife is missing. Before a body is even found, Homicide is already setting up a case against the husband, Hal Chase. At the same time, the county jail has had a string of questionable deaths.
As the case continues, the motivations of the characters involved become less pure. Conjectures and theories abound while the death count continues to increase.
A new Wes Farrell, Abe Glitsky, Dismas Hardy novel is always reason to celebrate. I listened to this book; David Colacci is an accomplished reader. His variety of voices helps each character stand in stark relief from the others.

great reading
Lescroart is always a good read and this one is great. I was trying to read it slowly so it wouldn't end so soon but read it in two days. Now I have to wait for his next one.
