All of Dugoni's characters have a fresh and believable edge, and there is plenty of action in far-flung settings. Meanwhile, unstoppable West Virginia police detective Tom Molia investigates the suicide of a top adviser to the president, and what he finds draws Sloane and Jenkins closer to the truth behind their shared terror: an international conspiracy 30 years in the making. But instead of devoting many chapters to the case, Dugoni quickly moves into some unexpected and very interesting territory: a recurring childhood nightmare Sloane shares with former CIA agent Charles Jenkins, apparently a complete stranger. Sloane, who has won 14 cases in a row, hates his arrogant client and must face an obviously hostile jury. Dugoni, a lawyer who coauthored a nonfiction book about an Idaho worker brain-damaged in 1996 by cyanide fumes, opens his debut novel with a wrongful death attorney in San Francisco, David Sloane, about to make his closing remarks defending a corporation in a similar case. This is high action, high intellect suspense at its very best. Robert Dugoni has mastered the art of the international espionage thriller, creating an immersive world of intrigue that demands your attention while providing escapist entertainment on a grand scale. Mike Lawson Wins Spotted Owl for House Witness by FOM Award, News The Friends of Mystery is proud to announce our 2019 Spotted Owl Award Winner, Mike Lawson for House Witness. The most impressive thing about this gripping legal thriller is what it doesn't do. The Last Agent is every bit as good as The Eighth Sisterarguably better, even. Congratulations to Robert Dugoni, winner for the second year running of the Spotted Owl Award for The Last Agent.
