Palm Beach is a playground for the rich and powerful, where appearances are carefully polished and scandals are quietly buried. But when one of the city’s most influential families becomes entangled in a sensational murder investigation, attorney and gentleman sleuth Archy McNally is drawn into one of the most dangerous cases of his career.
What begins as a seemingly straightforward investigation soon uncovers a tangled web of deception, greed, illicit affairs, and long-held family secrets. Every suspect has something to hide, every witness tells only part of the truth, and every new discovery leads Archy deeper into a world where wealth can buy silence—but not innocence.
As the body count rises and powerful people begin manipulating the investigation, McNally must rely on his trademark wit, charm, and razor-sharp instincts to separate fact from fiction. The closer he comes to exposing the truth, however, the more he realizes that someone is willing to kill to ensure certain secrets remain buried forever.
Filled with colorful Palm Beach personalities, sparkling dialogue, clever humor, and a tightly woven mystery, McNally’s Trial delivers everything readers love about Lawrence Sanders’ bestselling detective series. Fans of traditional mysteries and sophisticated crime fiction will find themselves racing through the pages to discover the surprising conclusion.
