The Missing Piece is a taut, beautifully-crafted thriller that leaves the reader guessing until the end. Lescroart's characters are real people who live and breathe on the page. --Author Link A superb thriller from a veteran crime writer! Lescroart brings all his many talents to bear in The Missing Piece: stellar plotting, his distinctive, punchy writing style and characters so real you feel you've met them before (though ideally not all of them, considering the author's masterful depiction of villains!). And the city of San Francisco--in all its glory and seediness--truly comes alive under Lescroart's pen. Bravo! --Jeffery Deaver, author of The Midnight Lock Another perfect piece of entertainment from a master storyteller. --Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series Believe the hype: John Lescroart has earned his seat in the canon of great legal thriller writers. --Karin Slaughter, New York Times and internationally bestselling author Bestselling mystery writer John Lescroart reunites two fan-favorite characters to catch a San Francisco serial killer. Fast-paced and suspenseful. --Catherine Coulter, New York Times bestselling author of Vortex Calling on his trademark eye for the big picture and his sensitivity to changing trends in the perception of the legal system, Lescroart crafts his most searing anatomy of that system since A Certain Justice (1995). --Kirkus (starred review) Hypnotic and powerful, The Missing Piece is both a nail-biting cops-and-lawyers puzzler and a fascinating intellectual thriller. From San Francisco's saloons to its courtrooms, living rooms, and interrogation rooms, you'll walk the shadowy streets with some of the most interesting characters around. The question is, who really murdered Paul Riley? Grandmaster of suspense John Lescroart will keep you guessing until the dazzling end. --Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Assassins John Lescroart is not only a master of the legal thriller but a master storyteller as well. The Missing Piece is clever, sly, and delightfully twisty. --Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire John Lescroart is one of the most reliable crime novelists of this century. Dismas Hardy gets more intriguing with every new book and here he comes again! --Ron Franscell, USA Today bestselling author of The Darkest Night Lescroart novels are heavyweight prize fights, the outcome in doubt until the final, unexpected, exhilarating blow. --Robert Dugoni, internationally bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series No one tells a story as seamlessly and compellingly as John Lescroart--he somehow manages to be endearing and sophisticated at the same time. Underneath the engaging characters, brilliant dialogue and riveting timely plot--there's an undercurrent of humanity, heartbreaking honesty, emotional depth, and the passionate search for justice. Bottom line: John Lescroart is the true master. And his books get better and better. The Missing Piece is terrific. --Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of Her Perfect Life What sets Lescroart apart from many of his fellow legal-thriller writers is his focus on complex themes like morality, conscience, and personal responsibility....Fans of the long-running series will be lining up to read this one. --Booklist
