Betrayal by John Lescroart

Dismas Hardy and Abe Glitsky reunite in a tale of the war in Iraq and how it affected two men. National Guard reservist Evan Scholler and ex-Navy SEAL Ron Nolan are thrown together in the chaos of the conflict in Iraq. Dismas is asked to take over the caseload of recently disappeared attorney Charlie Bowen and he thinks it will be easy. Well, nothing is ever "easy." The events that happen half-way around the world with Evan and Ron add escalating consequences. I found this book extremely depressing. I like to think our government is better than it is I guess. Lescroart writes a very intense story of corruption that I hope is exaggerated. Sandy P
