All rights reserved.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe young deputy district attorney on the other side of the table reminded me of a hawk. Dominick Barnard was tall and bony with a curved nose, and his face was covered in sweat. His dark hair had enough gel to make sure his messy mop stayed in place all day, even with the rainstorm dumping buckets of water just outside the diner door. Barnard's skin was so pale that I thought he might be sick, probably because he never went outdoors for long. They worked them hard at the Salt Lake County District Attorney's office. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe were at Denny's, and I waited to drop the bomb until after we'd ordered breakfast but before it was delivered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarnard's hand trembled as he read the affidavit I'd just given him. I followed his eyes and saw he was halfway through the first page. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Tell Cal Dobson he has twenty-four hours to drop all charges against my client,\" I said. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI felt bad for the kid and hated that he had to bear the brunt of this. That's why I was addressing him as if he were the messenger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"And then I'll take this matter out of his hands, and it will get ugly,\" I added as the waiter delivered our food. I took a sip of my orange juice but didn't reach for a fork, not yet. I didn't want to distract him from his reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarnard had been cocky before he'd seen the affidavit. He now bit his lip, turning whiter the further he got. I'd gotten the feeling when we'd first met up that he was proud to be doing this on his own, but he probably now wished he had the more senior Deputy District Attorney Cal Dobson with him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDobson was an experienced prosecutor who was supposed to be showing Barnard the ropes, but he was a real piece of work and the most dishonest attorney I'd ever encountered. I doubted Barnard was learning anything useful from the man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI could genuinely say I liked most people on the other side of the aisle, believing them to be honest and sincere individuals who were trying to do their jobs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut that wasn't Dobson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Decker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798303445369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Dan Decker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974706024703,"sku":"9798303445369","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_510866de-92b8-4494-96c2-72eda8ec1648.jpg?v=1750875820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fixer-dan-decker-9798303445369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
