Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller and finalist for the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction.

Inside a prestigious law firm, a rookie lawyer is pulled into a dark maze of lies and violence.

An ambitious Stanford graduate, David Adams has begun a fast-track career at Austin’s most prestigious law firm. It’s a personal victory for the rising superstar - a satisfying reversal from his impoverished and despairing childhood. Now he has the life he’s always wanted: An extravagant salary, a high-rise condo, a luxury SUV, and no limit to how far he can go in the eyes of the top partners.

But after the shocking suicide of a fellow associate - one who, in his final hours, offered David an ominous warning - he feels the pull of powerful forces behind the corporation’s enviable trappings. The suicide leads unexpectedly to David’s discovery of a secret enclave of the city’s homeless, where he can’t help but feel an affinity to these outcast souls. Nor can he ignore the feeling that they hold the key to the truth behind a dark conspiracy.

When one of his new street friends is murdered, David’s clear doubts about his employer start shifting into a dark reality. Now torn between two worlds, David must surrender all that he’s achieved to fight for a larger cause of justice - and become his firm’s most dangerous acquisition.

Soapbox

Story wasn’t bad but I don’t enjoy a writer with social issues. Won’t be listening to any more of his books even though legal thrillers are my favorites.

I like the premise.

It was a good clean story, great premise. I liked the characters, I felt they were relatable and would read a sequel:)

A legal page-turner

This fast-paced legal thriller involved me from the beginning, with its overtones of The Firm. I felt compelled to continue listening. I was a little disappointed by the ending, which seemed rushed and a tad far-fetched.

It was okay I think it could of been better but it is what it is

An Austin Tx Story

I met my husband 40 plus years ago in Austin. He graduated from UT. Then our daughter graduated from UT Law. As I listened to the story I was able to picture everything so vividly...Hope Chad continues to write more Austin centric stories.

It touched my heart

I loved this book. What I loved even more was the way it touched my heart. The performance was excellent. I was completely unable to guess how the story line twisted and turned. Best of all, the characters were real. I could see them in my minds eye. When at the end I listened to the authors comments and learned that much of the book was actually real, I cried like a baby. The book has inspired me to pay it forward to as many homeless people I can. Read it, you will be glad you did.

Wonderful Book

This book is one book I could not put down. What an excellent story depicting the homeless. I am encouraged to volunteer in anyway I can to help those that can benefit even a little from what services I can give. This book is very well written and can hardly wait to start the next one in the series.

many thanks

This was wonderful time, thank you for the time we spent together today

thanks 😊 🙏

Wasn’t sure

I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, and after the first couple of chapters I couldn’t stop listening. Looking forward to the next book.

Loved this book

Fast paced action and intriguing characters. Completely entertaining from start to finish. Love legal thrillers that don’t bog down with too much technical information but still give you a real sense of the legal processes. This storyline was very touching
