Dear Reader, Murder is like real estate because the key to it all is location, location, location. So says defense attorney Stuart Clay, whose client winds up in a high-rent district uproar after the police discover a businessman’s head on a Georgetown parking meter. Cleveland Barnes is arrested pushing a shopping cart of empty cans and wearing bloodied Bally loafers. As the corpse lost both head and shoes, the police book Cleveland for murder. Welcome to a Washington, D.C. where prosecutor and defender alike are bit players in a world turned upside down, where some mocking birds are guilty as sin, and some aren’t, and sometimes you just can’t say. THE ONLY PURE THING is a legal thriller based on my 20 years as a trial lawyer and 1300 criminal cases in Washington, D.C. Booklist said that “Much like George Pelecanos, Hyde knows all the nooks and crannies, all the dusty alleyways and grotty street corners, that hover behind the capital city's shiny façade.” Take a walk with me in this world.

Thanks for reading, Patrick |
