Description of Book Pro Bono by Thomas Perry

A tenacious attorney grapples with a dangerous group of thieves in this new thriller from the author of The Old Man.
Charles Warren, Los Angeles attorney, has dedicated his career to aiding people in financial straits. He is particularly skilled at the art of recovering assets that have been embezzled or hidden. In his newest case, helping a beautiful young widow find the money missing from her late husband’s investment accounts, Charlie recognizes a familiar scheme—one that echoes the con job that targeted his own widowed mother many years before, and that led him, as a teenager, to commit a crime of retribution that still weighs on his conscience.

Charlie can’t get the present case out of his mind, but within hours of starting his investigation, he is followed, shot at, and has his briefcase stolen. It’s clear that someone doesn’t want him following the trail of the missing money but, as Charlie continues to pursue answers, he quickly becomes too entangled in the web of fraud, betrayal, and career criminals surrounding the theft to escape its deadly snare.

A nail-biting tale of conspiracy and pursuit from Thomas Perry, “a dominating force in the world of contemporary suspense thrillers” (Publishers Weekly), Pro Bono will have readers looking over their shoulders as constantly as they keep turning pages.

Reviews of Pro Bono - Thomas Perry Book

  • Smooth

    By Handsome Smitty
    Perry makes it all too easy to keep reading this new entry into his long line of standalone thrillers no matter how pedantic the plot and characters become. Nothing superfluous about the action. Simple, straightforward and a quick smooth thriller that keeps the author's usual promise of a suspenseful read.

    I’ve read all of Perry’s books and loved every one..None of his expert craftsmanship was visible in this book, except for occasional small glimpses. It was as if someone else wrote it, a very inexperienced one. The characters were improbable, the plot wandering, instead of the usual tight knit quality I had come to expect and I ended up flipping pages just to get to the expected end. Very disappointing
