 Book Log 2020 #73: Clean Hands by Patrick Hoffman

A lawyer representing a major bank learns that one of the associates working on the case has lost his phone - which happened to have copies of secret documents on it. While the phone is recovered, someone has copied the documents off of it, and is now blackmailing the law firm It's up to the lawyer - and the ex-CIA crisis manager hired to help - to deal with the mess in a way that keeps them - and the firm - out of trouble.

It's not a bad setup for a thriller that you don't want or need to think about too much, and in that sense the book fit the bill. It's not quite the edge of your seat thrill ride that the linked page makes it out to be, but it's entertaining enough. 

That's a wrap on 2020! See you next year!
