Winner of the Distinguished Northwest Writer Award, he lives in Portland, Oregon. Zusammenfassung It's a beautiful summer night in Portland, Oregon. Ami Vergano, a young attorney and single mother, arrives at her son Ryan's Little League game with their tenant and new friend, Dan Morelli. Before the game ends, Ami witnesses violence that shocks and horrifies her and makes her question everything she thought she knew about Morelli. On the other side of the continent, ex-mental patient Vanessa Kohler watches a piece on television about the Little League massacre and quickly places a call to the FBI. For years she's been telling everyone about a vast government conspiracy to conceal a secret military unit headed by Gen. Morris Wingate, and everyone has dismissed her stories. But what she sees on television could prove her theories true. Vanessa hires Ami Vergano to represent Morelli, and Ami is drawn into Vanessa's paranoid world. Are Vanessa, a former mental patient, and Morelli, a confessed mass murderer, telling the truth about one of the nation's most respected soldiers and politicians? Ami has to decide who -- and what -- to believe, in Phillip Margolin's most exciting and surprising thriller since his breakout bestseller, Gone, but Not Forgotten .
