Sleight of Hand by Phillip Margolin

Sleight of Hand by Phillip Margolin

This is the story of a killer lawyer with skills in magic, Charles Benedict, and the private investigator, Dana Cutler, who is unknowingly hunting him down.  Benedict accidently shoots and kills someone and spends the rest of the book killing off potential witnesses and trying to frame another for the murder.  And if Cutler didn’t start sniffing around the scene he may have gotten away with it.

This is a mystery filled with twists and turns as well as a few (we think) red herrings that turn out to be important after all.  Benedict is a sociopath and it’s unbelievable to fathom the lengths he will go to to protect himself.  A great choice on audio because it really moves.
