Years ago – when Adam was just a kid – Sam was convicted of an abhorrent crime: a Ku Klux Klan bombing in Mississippi that left two children dead. But now Adam feels compelled to help Sam, even if it means exposing dark truths that Adam himself would rather keep hidden. A powerful legal thriller from the author of The Firm and The client.

Remember me, by Mary Higgins Clark:
When Menley Nichols’husband brings her and their infant daughter to Cape Cod for a summer holiday, Menley anticipates they’ll have nothing but sun, sea, and a happy, healing time together.

After all, what can warriors like him do in a peacetime navy? Plenty, as Jake discovers when he begins training a squadron of marine fliers during a Pacific cruise. Night landings, near collisions, threats from Soviet ships and South Seas pirates – they’re all part of the excitement in this action-packed tale from a former navy war hero.
