Tom Dunleavy has a one-man (and one-dog) law firm in the richest resort town in America- legendary East Hampton, summer home to billionaires and megacelebrities. But his job barely keeps him in paperclips. His clients come from the year-rounders he grew up with.
Then an old friend of Tom's, a local star athlete, is arrested for a triple murder on the beach near a movie star's mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks Tom to represent him, and for the first time, Tom is on the spot and in the public eye.
Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help fight this case. Kate is his ex-girlfriend, and she has seen him at his worst- but she comes back.
Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to lure the real killer out of hiding- and what emerges is staggering. No one could imagine a killer this ruthless.
The final scenes of Beach Road unveil a truth so unexpected that it will leave readers gasping in shock.
I have to say, I could not put this book down. I started it Friday night and finished it this morning. And yes, the end shocked me, I did not see it coming at all.
