A rising star at her prestigious Seattle law firm, Dana Hill knows all about stress. She pours herself into her work and family with all the energy she has. But her carefully balanced life is about to be turned upside down. First a frightening medical diagnosis forces her to reassess her roles as a lawyer, mother, and wife to a man she suddenly no longer trusts. Then her life is rocked further by the shocking and brutal murder of her twin brother.

With a smart, iconoclastic detective named Michael Logan as her only ally, Dana dives into the investigation, relentlessly seeking answers to who killed her brother and why. Logan cannot believe that the murder was anything more than a robbery gone terribly wrong. But when Dana uncovers a priceless handcrafted diamond earring in the debris of her twin's trashed home, the case becomes more sinister. Dana is sure the jewel is the key to her twin's secrets. And Logan becomes convinced it can help stop a string of cold-blooded murders that have followed in the wake of her brother's death.

As Dana and Logan chase the faint trail of evidence from Seattle to Maui, they threaten the reputation, career, and future of a powerful man who will stop at nothing to protect what he considers his. But for Dana, for whom time has a special meaning, nothing - not even her own life - is more important than finding the truth. She has moved beyond fear and beyond anyone's attempts at damage control.

Cannot Praise Divine Enough!

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021

I have been enjoying the Tracy Crosswhite series and always wait impatiently for each one. I hope they never end! But I have neglected this brilliant author's earlier works. I decided to try this one, and I am so glad I did. Part of Dugoni's gift is to be able to write realistic female main characters, and this considerable skill is on display in Damage Control for sure! I cared so much for Dana and, later, for Elizabeth that I could barely remember that they are not, in fact, real women. Villains likewise come to life under this author's talented pen. Throughout the entire second half of this story I could hardly stand to put my Kindle down. So, lesson learned! I will now seek out and read everything this genius has written. You may decide to do the same.

I'm somewhat of a prude when it comes to writing skills, even though I don't write myself. It's probably because I am such a prude I'd never approve of my own writing. That said, Robert Dugoni writes fabulous, detailed, BELIEVABLE stories. His character development is flawless. I understand why the characters do what they do. Everything just feels right. I love his main characters. That's a must for me. I must love the main characters. I must feel I know them and understand their motivations. I care what happens to them.

He's full of surprises. His plots are complicated, yet easy to follow. Robert Dugoni is a natural. He writes and writes and writes. And .. I've read just about all of them. I want more!!!

Warning: Spoilers follow
I found this offering by Robert Dugoni to be exceptionally long, containing a briefly good story surrounded by exasperatingly long narratives that clutter the first one-third of the book. On several occasions, I almost abandoned the reading. But I persevered. I am not sure that was a good decision. The climax and epilogue are marred by first, melodrama and then, at the end, almost pure fantasy. The protagonist’s cancer, we are told, so deadly (and not directly involved in the overall plot), magically disappears. I assume as payment from above for her being such a good and righteous person.
Look at the characters. All the men, save one, are underhanded, selfish villains. Of course, the one who isn’t, the detective, is the love interest. He throws the sister of the victim into the investigation, employing her to help him flush out and destroy the bad guys (all men) while he ineptly rushes to her aid.
The antagonist, a career politician vying for the presidency, is selfish and controlling. A wife beater.
The heroine’s husband, a selfish and self-centered bad man.
The security expert, thoroughly one-dimensional and evil.
The robbers, scoundrels through and through.
And then, the artist who designs earrings and fortune-telling sculptures. He is more like Yoda, speaking in riddles, foretelling the future while understanding the past. And above all, he has the cure for cancer in tea bags but doesn’t seem to want the notoriety that would accompany giving it to the world.
The women, each one, are above reproach, good in every way. But we are to ignore the fact that the politician’s wife is the main impetus for the murder that drives the entire story. However, she was in love, so that infraction seems to warrant it to be overlooked. But I wonder, she lived on the government teat for so many years, had anything she wanted, was lavished with every luxury. But she wouldn’t stand tall and divorce her bad man, abusive, murdering husband, telling the world about his cruelty. Instead, she lurked in the shadows in an illicit love affair. Even in the end, she did not divulge her entanglement with another man to the public, while rightly vilifying her husband. This bothered me.
Dugoni has serious talents. He can put the reader into a scene with extreme clarity. He can weave a complicated tale while not confusing the reader. His dialogue is spot on. But as for this story, I’ve heard it many times before, with different names and places. The tale grows tiring.

This is one great story, it has life, death, love, confusion and a great bunch of characters that seem to mesh and flow from start to finish.
Cops and robbers, killers and healers, politicians and their prey.
But what it really is , is a story of who killed who and why.
If I told you what the book was actually about, you would think , oh I just finished a book similar to that, believe me, you didn’t, you will actually not want to put this one down.
In about three months I will probably look to read it again.
Don’t let this one get away..

Dugoni Sets the Bar High in “Damage Control”

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

From the first murder to the second and third,, and on to the fourth, one would think there was a serial killer of the loose. Oh the legal pressures of bilking 54 minutes per hour out of 24-hours a day, and price paid by the attorneys to achieve partnership are there for all to view. But strangely, love and redemption trump revenge in this compelling legal drama. I finished it in slightly under 24-hours with a five hour sleep break. And I would do it again. So, Robert, I’m waiting...hopefully not for long. A solid Five Star review for Damage Control!

Another R. Dugoni Winner

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022

I have yet to read an R. Dugoni novel I didn't like. This stand-alone novel is no exception. It's a suspense thriller which has some characters driven by high finance and power at the expense of human decency leading to murders; particularly one character.
Two protagonists, a seasoned detective and one of the characters' wives originally set out to find out who murdered her relative. They find themselves also caught in this web to solve the case.

Another great mystery but with an underlying message

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

I rarely miss a chance to read Robert Dugoni’s books. They always intrigue me with twists and turns and often a little nugget of the sweet beauty and tragedies of life. Damage Control is a little different in that pretty quickly the reader knows “who done it”. All the characters are fleshed out and the main bad guy is a perfect picture of a sociopath. But, please after the book is finished, take a moment to read the author’s note. It is a sad, but lovely story of some of Dugoni’s inspiration for some of his story. I love that he uses his celebrity in a quiet manner to suggest that we can all suffer from cancer in some way and we need to donate something to stop this disease.

This is not only about cancer but an adventure in how we would like to have answers about life. The characters will grow on you from the start. Very hard to put down and go to sleep. I have read most all of this author's work and never been disappointed. Thanks for all the entertainment..

Dugoni is fast becoming one of my favourites to read his writing just seems to flow seamlessly and I feel like I'm actually there. So full of intrigue and fast paced action I didn't want it to end

Another great book.

It's only a few days since I wrote a review on the first book I read by this author - My Sister's Grave - and said I enjoyed it so much that I was going to download another one. I did and once again like the first book, read it quickly it was so good. The first chapter deals with the murder of an elderly doctor and he doesn't get mentioned again for a long time. I did wonder a few times when the reason for this chapter would appear and of course all was explained near the end of the book. The second chapter then starts introducing other characters, some good and some bad and all so well described that you can actually visualise the action - would make a good film! Mr. Dugoni holds the reader's attention throughout with such interesting characters. I loved William Welles, such a lovely unusual soul.Even though he was only briefly in the story, he made an impact.
After reading the acknowledgements at the end of the book, it explained the author's empathy with Dana and her mother suffering from cancer, so sad.
I would highly recommend this book, it has all the ingredients of a great thriller. Once again, I have just downloaded another of Mr. Dugoni's books and I look forward to reading many more.

This book has everything, murder, politics, romance, and a pace that keeps you hooked. It also has elements of magic and fairy tales, karma and peace.Enough characters to make the plot interesting but few enough so that each character has a depth, I certainly identified with the main characters paralegal! I would imagine this book will appeal to every fiction reader, certainly money well spent, an enjoyable read. Thank you Mr. Digoni

This book by Robert Dugoni is excellent- absolutely riveting. I have read all his books and can’t wait for his new release in April. This writer has you embroiled in the story from the first chapter. Personally I think he’s the best writer I have come across- his style is second to none.
