With the reluctant assistance of his best friend, who is a federal judge, and a former associate who abruptly left law practice, Girardi must confront basic questions of right and wrong, and overcome threats to his reputation, his law practice, and his life. What will the evidence reveal about Girardi's partner? And what surprises will Girardi learn about life-and love? In The Crooked Elm Partnership , lawyer and author Pamela A. Kelley gives readers a fast-paced, sophisticated legal mystery thriller that explores friendship, trust, deceit, and the murky ethical lines that beset the profession of law.
