Synopsis

Private investigator Dana Cutler must take down a cunning psychopath before he can pull off the perfect crime, in Sleight of Hand, a novel of suspense from Phillip Margolin, New York Times bestselling author of Capitol Murder and Supreme Justice.

Charles Benedict – charismatic criminal defense lawyer, amateur illusionist, and professional hit man – has performed his greatest sleight of hand yet: framing a millionaire for the murder of his much younger wife.

When Horace Blair married Carrie, the prosecutor in his DUI trial, he made her sign a prenuptial agreement guaranteeing her twenty million dollars if she remained faithful for the first ten years of marriage. Just one week before their tenth anniversary, Carrie disappears, and Horace is charged with her murder. Desperate to clear his name, the millionaire hires D.C.’s most ruthless defense lawyer – Charles Benedict.

P.I. Dana Cutler is in the Pacific Northwest on the trail of a stolen relic dating from the Ottoman Empire. Hitting a dead end sends her back to Virginia perplexed and disappointed – and straight into the case of Horace and Carrie Blair.

Now Dana must conjure a few tricks of her own to expose Benedict’s plot, before he can work his deadly magic on her...

Goodreads review by Jo-Anne on July 29, 2013

I love Phillip Margolin’s books and can’t resist his Dana Cutler stories. This book starts out with what seems to be two separate, unrelated stories. Although both were interesting, I kept wondering how they would come together. One story involves Dana Cutler who is a private investigator hired to tr......more

Goodreads review by Andrea on August 31, 2016

My review, This book kept me up late at night, reading chapter after chapter to see what happened next...The book was more of an adult book with a little profanity and some inappropriate scenes that may not be your type of book. Getting past that, this novel was a book of suspense and mystery, if you......more
