J. F. Freedman The Disappearance
Signet 1999 0451197429 / 9780451197429 Paperback Very Good
0451197429 6.9 x 4.3 x 1.4 inches From Publishers Weekly After forays into the coming-of-age (The Obstacle Course) and PI (House of Smoke) genres, Freedman seems to have settled back, with last year's Key Witness and this new novel, into the sort of rambunctious legal thriller that made his reputation with his debut, Against the Wind. That book has been his high water mark, critically and commercially, and his new novel is unlikely to match it, despite a powerful premise, exciting plotting both in and out of the courtroom and Freedman's usual muscular prose. The opening here is immensely gripping: a teenage girl is apparently kidnapped from her Santa Barbara, Calif., bedroom during a slumber party, her wealthy family deals with the devastation of her disappearance, her body is found and, a year later, a hotshot TV newscaster is arrested for the killing. Freedman handles this sensitive material?obviously inspired by the real-life kidnap-slaying of Polly Klass?freshly and with appropriate gravity. He takes a turn toward the routine, however, when he introduces his hero, attorney Luke Garrison, whose very contrariness?he's a former DA who has fled to the woods in shame over a past failure, who rides a hog and sports a goatee and a ruby stud in his ear?makes him just one more dashing antihero. Luke agrees to defend the newscaster, plunging himself and his hot-blooded girlfriend/assistant into an adrenalized investigation and trial full of false leads, twists and brushes with death, all of which Freedman handles skillfully, other than pointing a blatant finger at the dead girl's father as the real culprit. So the ultimate unmasking of the killer comes as no big surprise, although Freedman's lurid handling of it is surprising?and, some might say, exploitative, as this talented writer turns what begins as a worthy re-imagining of a brutal tragedy into a histrionic page-burner. Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club and Mystery Guild selections. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Freedman (Key Witness, Dutton, 1997) has written another legal thriller, this time chronicling the disappearance and murder of the 14-year-old daughter of a wealthy Santa Barbara family. Luke Garrison is the unbelievable hero, a former district attorney who abandoned the legal system when he found himself a party to injustice. Now Luke has been persuaded to come back and defend the accused murderer. But he finds himself opposing all of his old colleagues, who have mixed emotions about his return. The case is an enigma, too. The facts don't add up, and there's evidence of child sexual abuse and adultery in this prominent family. Luke is able to demonstrate that he's still at the top of his game, and, with a little help from his friends, he solves the case. The novel reads very quickly, although it begins to feel very long and overly dramatic during the trial scenes. For larger collections. -?Katherine E.A.
