As The Death of Friends begins, Henry Rios is
awakened one night by an earth tremor, but it is the emotional tremors
that are about to shake his life. An old friend, Supreme Court judge Chris
Chandler, is found dead in his chambers, but murder, not the quake, is
the cause. The judge's young lover appeals to Rios to protect him from
suspicion of guilt, but Henry must tread carefully. Chandler's wife, also
a friend, knows nothing of her husband's secret life: almost no one does
-- in fact, even Henry had never heard of this young man. What other secrets
was Chandler hiding?
As the investigation progresses. Henry begins to uncover the layers
of a man far more complicated that he had ever realized -- and to glimpse
in them the dark mirror of his own soul.
