It's good to know, there is life after "Big Law."
For those of you who don't know, John Lescroart, the New York Times' Bestselling Author worked in a San Francisco law firm in a previous life. Which is one of the many things that makes this book so much fun to read and relate to.
And, what better place to provide the backdrop for a thriller than San Francisco's "Glamorous Charity Circuit."
"Mickey Dade hates deskwork, but that's all he's been doing at Wyatt Hunt's private investigative service, The Hunt Club. Hunt's been keeping an eye on Mickey and his sister, Tamara, since their hardscrabble childhood, so Mickey's pitching in to pay for chef school. His itch to be active is answered when a body is discovered: It's Dominic Como, one of San Francisco's most high-profile activists—a charismatic man known as much for his expensive suits as his work on half a dozen nonprofit boards. One "person of interest" in the case is Como's business associate, Alicia Thorpe—young, gorgeous, and the sister of one of Mickey's friends.
As Mickey and Hunt are pulled into the case, they soon learn that the city's golden fund-raiser was involved in some highly suspect deals. And the lovely Alicia knows more about this—and more about Como—than she's letting on.
Treasure Hunt is both a nail-biting thriller and a coming-of-age story, filled with Lescroart's trademark San Francisco flavors. Mickey Dade, its young, fresh protagonist, gradually learns the lessons Hunt knows only too well, as the world he imagines unravels around him."
John Lescroart is the author of 20 previous novels including "Betrayal," "The Suspect," and "The Hunt Club."
He lives in Northern California.
