【圖書簡介】
　　Amazon.comVanessa Kohler wakes from a sound sleep in a California lakeside mansion to find her host， a young Congressman， near death：he's been tortured， his safe is wide open：and the man who seems to have attacked him， is about to flee the house， is Carl Price， someone she once loved. Missing are the documents that prove Vanessa's father， the General， runs a covert military unit of assassins who answer only to him. Once the General arrives on the scene and hustles her off to a mental hospital where she's held for more than a year， her charges are dismissed as the rantings of a crazy woman. A decade later Carl Price reappears， caught in an incident at a Little League game in Oregon that briefly makes the national news and thus brings him to Vanessa's notice again. But by now she's a tabloid reporter， so even those who don't know about her stint in the asylum won't take her charges against the General seriously. And Carl Price may have killed the Congressman， but he's the only person who can prove that the Unit exists; if Vanessa doesn't get him before the General has him killed， he'll never be able to corroborrate her story， and the General may well be elected President.Vanessa's a more interesting， if less likeable and engaging heroine than Ami， the woman lawyer who tries to help the man she knows as Dan Morelli， a.k.a. Carl Price， who makes beautiful furniture， lives comfortably in the apartment over her garage， and is a surrogate father to her young son. But the official records of Carl Price reveal a whole other side of her friend and client， and when the psychiatrist to whom Dan has also revealed his alter identity and the General's secret is tortured and killed in the same way the Congressman was， she's not certain whom to believe. The complicated plot is a little over the top， but Margolin drives his thriller to its bloody denouement with the same fast pace and velocity that will probably drive it to the bestseller list， just like his previous books. ：Jane Adams ：This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.　From Publishers WeeklyLike the lake of its title， Margolin's latest suspense novel （a hybrid with traces of legal thriller and whodunit and a big debt to The Manchurian Candidate） is smooth on the surface with tumultuous secrets lurking beneath. In Portland， Ore.， lawyer and single mom Ami Vergano is pleased to take in handsome handyman Dan Morelli as a tenant， since he provides a positive male role model for her 10-year-old son， Ryan. Meanwhile， across the country in Washington， tightly wound tabloid reporter Vanessa Kohler spins elaborate paranoid fantasies （or are they？） involving personal danger and government conspiracy. These two women—and their respective plot threads—come together when Dan's volatility turns a Little League game into a crime scene， and Vanessa steps forward to support him， at considerable risk. But this is only the beginning of a labyrinthine plot built on twists and surprises. Hint： Vanessa's father is an influential general and political power broker. Margolin isn't the most original writer， but what he lacks in style he makes up for in clarity. Plotting is his strong suit. The artful arrangement of the story's episodes keeps the suspense high， and the author fills in the puzzle shrewdly， with small pieces from all over the chronology. The surprises keep coming， even after the story settles mostly into a courtroom drama， with Ami defending Dan on a high-stakes charge.　Copyright © Reed Business Information， a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
