Amazon.co.uk Review
Fatal Flaw is a rare delight: a legal thriller with freshness and vitality, qualities too often lacking in this sometimes-tired genre. This third entry in the Victor Carl series opens with a bang, as Victor finds fellow lawyer Guy Forrest at the front of his lover's house, stark naked in the pouring rain, a gun beside him, his lover's bloody corpse on the bed inside. He sure looks guilty--but then, little is as it looks in this exceedingly well-plotted tale. The first 30 pages alone deliver several jolting revelations that change what we thought we knew, and the surprises keep coming right up to the last few pages.Fortunately, William Lashner is as fine a wordsmith as he is a plotter. The settings are crisply evoked, from Philadelphia and Las Vegas to the dirt-poor Appalachians. All the characters are vivid, and a few--including the murder victim--are unforgettable. But it's the narrative voice of Victor Carl that really carries the book. Cynical, funny, streetwise and ethically flexible, he's an exceptionally engaging writer. And, like some of the wisecracking private eyes he resembles, he can deliver both breezy sarcasm and real emotional power. --Nicholas H Allison, Amazon.com

Flawless!!! October 12, 2008
Mr. John Frank Herbert
When Philadelphia lawyer Victor Carl agrees to defend his old classmate Guy Forest, against a charge of murdering his beautiful lover, Hailey Prouix, he's on a mission to see that his client is pronounced GUILTY!
A secret lover of Hailey himself at the time of the murder, what better way to see justice done than to defend him yourself and simply ensure he gets the full penalty?
But nothing is what it seems in Lashner's gripping tale of retribution, and a woman that everyone falls in love with.
The pace never lets up and the characters on all sides stick in the memory.
This is 560 pages not to be missed.

I usually avoid books written by lawyers and books about lawyers as iI find the whole suject matter extremely boring and the thought of further enriching the legal profession disturbing.However to every rule there is an exception,and Lashner is that exception.Grab every book written by him.They are all intriguing,beautifully written with a true command of English,with thought-provoking moral dilemmas and wonderfully insighful humour.Lashner cannot possibly be a lawyer!Fatal flaw is outstanding and rivetting.Get all his books from Amazon immdieately .

A morally dubious attorney, Carl finds his friend, Guy Forrest, naked on the steps outside of his home. Crying, Guy tells him that Haley Prouix has been murdered upstairs. The police think Guy killed Haley, and Carl agrees to defend Guy in court, but Carl doesn’t tell him that he was having an affair with Haley. In love with Haley, Carl’s convinced that Guy killed her, and he’s ready to make sure he pays. But as the facts of Haley’s past come to light, questions arise. For instance, just how well can you really know a woman? The ending does not disappoint.
