The Hidden Man
by David Ellis

Jason Kolarich is a Chicago attorney with a lineman’s build, a razor-sharp intellect—and the grief of a tragic personal loss. When an estranged childhood friend is charged with murder, Kolarich must create a solid defense—even while doubting his client’s innocence. But it soon becomes clear that Kolarich will have to uncover long-forgotten events from their shared childhoods to save his friend—and bring a relentless killer to justice before he strikes again.
