Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Placed by critics in the same league as John Grisham and Scott Turow, John Lescroart carves his own unique place in the legal suspense game with his character-driven courtroom dramas featuring his popular San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy. In this explosive new novel, Hardy tries to get his wife out of jail by tracking down a murder suspect whose confidence she refuses to betray.

Review:

A rousing courtoom showdown. (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

Grisham's and Turow's readers should be steered toward this one. (Library Journal)

Riveting. (Booklist)

One of Lescroart's best tales yet. (Chicago Tribune)

Lescroart isn't as well known as that other John-Grisham-but he writes books just as good as his. (Houston Daily Sun)

Review:

A master. (People)

KAbbey, December 30, 2007 (view all comments by KAbbey)
Defense attorney Dismas Hardy receives a call from the school telling him that his wife failed to pick up their children as planned. A bit concerned, he gets the kids and takes them home, but there is no sign of his spouse Frannie. After a few more hours pass, Dismas becomes worried until he finally learns that Frannie is residing in jail on two counts of contempt.

Apparently, her good friend Ron Beaumont is afraid to become involved in the legal system although someone murdered his wife Bree and the police have no viable suspects. Frannie knows Ron's secrets, but refuses to answer questions involving them. When she acts nasty towards the judge, she becomes a prisoner. Dismas wonders if his beloved spouse has been romantically involved with another man, especially when she pleads with him to find out who killed Bree. However, deciding to trust his wife, Dismas begins to investigate what happened. He quickly learns that Bree had many political enemies because of her hard stand on environmental issues. As Dismas digs deeper, he realizes that someone will kill again to keep a certain plan on schedule.


New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart has written another fabulous police and legal thriller. The male protagonist appears more vulnerable than usual, which makes him more likeable than in previous appearances. In NOTHING, BUT THE TRUTH, Dismas, soul is stripped to the bone marrow, but he still will do what it takes to keep his family safe. The who-done-it is one of the better ones in quite awhile, as Mr. Lescroart knows how to create a plot that will give immense pleasure to fans of police and legal thrillers.
