Book description
William Lasco is a self-made multimillionaire who's got an eye for
wealth and influence, the ear of the President, and a talent for using
both to get what he wants. Now the Economic Crime Commission wants the
corrupt, untouchable Lasko brought down - and US Attorney Christopher
Paget is tipped to take on the job. To gather enough evidence to nail
Lasko without alienating the White House, Paget has to go by the book.
But Lasko makes his own rules. And eliminating his enemies is William
Lasko`s golden rule. . In The Lasko Tangent, Richard North Patterson has
written an unstoppable thriller of one man's fight for justice - the man
who became the hero of his phenomenal international bestseller, Degree
of Guilt. Richard North Patterson has been a San Francisco trail
lawyer and a partner in the firm of McCutchen, Doyle, Brown &
Emerson. He is now a full-time writer. His first novel,
The Lasko Tangent,
