Reviews"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, "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, "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, "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, "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

SynopsisUSA TODAY BESTSELLER The beloved New York Times bestselling Dismas Hardy series returns with this "perfect piece of entertainment from a master storyteller" (Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author) about a relentlessly twisty murder mystery. No one mourned when San Francisco DA Wes Farrell put Paul Riley in prison eleven years ago for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. And no one is particularly happy to see him again when he's released after The Exoneration Initiative uncovered evidence that pinned the crime on someone else. In fact, Riley soon turns up murdered, surrounded by the loot from his latest scam. But if Riley was really innocent all along, who wanted him dead? To the cops, it's straightforward: the still-grieving father of Riley's dead girlfriend killed the former prisoner. Farrell, now out of politics and practicing law with master attorney Dismas Hardy, agrees to represent the defendant, Doug Rush--and is left in the dust when Rush suddenly vanishes. At a loss, Farrell and Hardy ask PI Abe Glitsky to track down the potentially lethal defendant. The search takes Glitsky through an investigative hall of mirrors populated by wounded parents, crooked cops, cheating spouses, and single-minded vigilantes. As Glitsky embraces and then discards one enticing theory after another, the truth seems to recede ever farther. So far that he begins to question his own moral compass in this "superb thriller from a veteran crime writer" (Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author) that you'll savor to the last word., The beloved New York Times bestselling Dismas Hardy series returns with this relentlessly twisty murder thriller.

Masterful misdirection, Lescroart's signature "enthralling...sharp dialogue" ( Publishers Weekly ) and a shockingly satisfying climax make The Missing Piece a first-rate thriller you'll savor to the last word.
