As he and his investigator, Joey, delve into the mother's death, an attempt is made on Tom's life, the state bar threatens disbarment and he finds himself accused of murdering a fellow lawyer. With the help of a beautiful Asian-American psychologist turned jury expert, his search for the truth uncovers a conspiracy of legal chicanery beginning at the highest levels of government and backed up by cold-blooded killers. Filled with unexpected reversals and treachery, A Clean Kill will keep even the most jaded mystery-reader guessing.
