A patron came in and asked about a book that he started to read a few
years ago and now can't remember the title.
This is all he can remember:
1. A lawyer is having an affair with his secretary and kills his wife.
2. His partner is killed shortly thereafter.
3. It takes place in a big house.
Unfortunately, he doesn't remember if it is fiction or non-fiction.
Thank you for your collective wisdom.

I recall that the main bad guy wanted to kill his wife, using the
excuse that she was sick. I seem to recall his having an affair. I do
remember that it takes place in a big house. I read it a while ago,
so my memory is sketchy. Here is part of the description:
"They call themselves the Sowing Club: four white-collar
professionals whose sophisticated crimes have amassed millions of
dollars in a Cayman Islands bank account. The group is bound by a
pact to leave the cash untouched until they accumulate a cool $40
million. But their leader, John, has begun to lose his focus in their
"all-for-one" commitment, distracted by and nearly bankrupt from his
wife's grave illness. Knowing what must be done, John turns to his
three friends. For the sake of the pact, their brand of crime must
turn to the mercy killing of John's wife. But the line between mercy
and murder quickly vanishes.... "

It's not Presumed Innocent, is it, by Scott Turow. Its
been a while since I read it, but a lawyer is accused
of killing his wife, sleeps with his secretary, and I
forget the rest!

Hi there,

been a while since I read it, but a lawyer is accused
of killing his wife, sleeps with his secretary, and I
