BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. At work, attorney Dismas Hardy expects lies, half-truths, and betrayal. At home, he counts on nothing but the truth: from his family, friends, and most of all his wife, Frannie. But on a cool San Francisco afternoon, Frannie Hardy goes missing. And when Dismas finds her, she's in jail for defying a grand jury's questions. Dismas is shocked by what his wife tells him: that on the day a woman was killed, Frannie was with the victim's husband. Then she tells Dismas another secret. BETWEEN A WITNESS AND THE COURT. To save his wife and marriage, Dismas must defend a man who has committed an extraordinary deception and may have committed murder. But what began as a case of domestic homicide is leading Dismas to a web of forbidden relationships that reaches into the top tiers of California politics and business. Now Dismas faces the most agonizing challenge of his career: to lay bare the truths that will lead to justice, and bury the ones that could trigger the worst crime of all. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
