The Poison Tree

Bol

One cryptic caller lights a fire storm for big law rising star Alex Guest. The threat to the firm and a key client is real, but before Alex can protect herself the man is gunned down on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. When veteran Detective Denny Chin links the murder to a series of slayings bearing the sadistic hallmarks of the genocidal Khmer Rouge, he is haunted by a crime he could never solve: the mysterious assassination of the Killing Fields star who was feted in Hollywood for his portrayal of the horror. Chin and Alex are on a wild collision course; global corruption snakes through every turn in the investigation, and the global reach of big law clients comes into focus. Sinister forces are out to bury the past and rewrite a heinous chapter in human history. How far does the corruption reach, and how many more people must die before justice is finally served?
