High Crimes by Joseph Finder

Started: 5/16/07
Finished: 5/19/07
Year: 2006
Pages: 388
Genre: Legal Mystery
Grade: A
Reason for reading: review for MyShelf.com
Blurb (from back cover): "Star attorney Claire Heller Chapman has known only love and respect from her successful husband. But now police are saying Tom Chapman is not who he says he is. Thirteen years ago, they claim, he had a different face and a different name-and was responsible for a crime so heinous that only a maniac could have committed it. Now Claire must put her reputation, her family, and her life on the line to defend this man she never knew-in a case where all evidence is classified, all the rules are being changed around her...and the stakes are higher and deadlier than she or anyone else could have ever imagined."
Opinion: One of the better legal mysteries that I've read. Not crazy about the ending. The book was fast paced and I wanted to keep reading it. For a more complete review, check out MyShelf.com next month.
