The Last Alibi David Ellis

James Drinker is a bit of an oddball. A funny-looking, geeky loner, he walks into Jason Kolarichs office one day with a preemptive concern: two women have recently been murdered, seemingly by the same killer, and Drinker thinks he will be the polices main suspect. One woman was his ex-girlfriend, he says, and the other was a friend. Hes the only link between the victims and he has no alibi for the night of either murdersurely the police will realize it soon. Believing hes the target of a frame-up, Drinker hires Kolarich for his defense. Something about James Drinker seems off from the start, but Kolarich doesnt give it too much thought. Until another murder occurs. And then another. And as he begins to probe his clients life and story more closely, it quickly becomes clear that nothing about James Drinker is what it seems . . . and that the target of the frame-up isnt Drinker, but Kolarich. Unable to stop a serial killerand prove his own innocencewithout breaking his sworn attorney-client privilege, Jason Kolarich must hunt for the truth about James Drinker, the series of brutal murders, and why hes been set up to take the fall. The answers will be beyond anything he could have imagined.
