Bodily Harm: A Novel

e-book


New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni returns with his most exhilarating legal thriller to date, a pulse-pounding story of corporate greed, espionage, and the lengths one man is willing to go for justice.

Bodily Harm opens with a big win for David Sloane and his new partner, Tom Pendergrass, in a malpractice case centered on the death of a young child. But on the heels of this seeming victory, an unlikely characterā€”toy designer Kyle Horganā€” comes forward to tell Sloane that heā€™s gotten it all wrong: Horganā€™s the one whoā€™s truly responsible for the little boyā€™s death and possibly othersā€”not the pediatrician Sloane has just proven guilty.

Ordinarily, Sloane might have dismissed such a person as a crackpot, but something about this case has always troubled himā€”something that he couldnā€™t quite pinpoint. When Sloane tries to follow up with Horgan, he finds the manā€™s apartment a shamblesā€” ransacked by unknown perpetrators. Horgan has vanished without a trace. Together with his longtime investigative partner Charles Jenkins, Sloane reexamines his clientsā€™ sonā€™s death and digs deeper into Horganā€™s claims, forcing him to enter the billion-dollar, cutthroat toy industry. As Sloane gets closer to the truth, he trips a wire that leads to a shocking chain of events that nearly destroys him.

To get to the bottom of it all and find justice for the families harmed, Sloane must keep in check his overwhelming desire for revenge. Full of nail-bitingly tense action scenes as well as edge-of-your-seat courtroom drama, Bodily Harm finds Robert Dugoni at the very top of his game.
