Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He ran from a murder he didn't commit. By the time it was over, he was guilty. Portland, 2006. Dexter Hart is the best-known trial lawyer in the city, a functioning alcoholic, and a man who has just walked out of rehab for the third time. That night, outside a 7-Eleven on Burnside, a meth-addicted kid pulls a switchblade on him. Dex puts him on the ground and walks away. Minutes later the kid is dead on the sidewalk. Dex didn't do it. And he knows exactly how this ends, because he has spent thirty years watching juries convict men who merely looked guilty. So he does what an ex-CIA operative with an offshore account and a forger on retainer can do. He sells the house, buys four identities, and disappears into Bangkok. He does not disappear well enough. The dead boy's mother has money and grief in equal measure, and she hires the best private investigator in Oregon to hunt him across Asia. Back in Portland, homicide detective Marty Blazer keeps working the case for the opposite reason: she is the one person who believes Dexter Hart is innocent. Then the men Dex pays to fly him quietly out of Thailand decide he is worth more as a hostage than as a client, and in one room, in a few seconds, the innocent man ceases to exist. From the bars of Sukhumvit to the back streets of Angeles City, hunted now by a crime family that does not stop at borders, Dex learns the cost of the freedom he bought. 'An edgy, swiftly paced . tale of an innocent man on the lam.' - Kirkus Reviews. KRUEGER, JESSICA (illustrator).…
