False Oath

The Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller Series, Book 4

De: Michael Stagg

Narrado por: George Newbern

Two brothers. One accused of a horrific crime. The other chasing a golden future. And an attorney navigating between both.

Fresh off his latest case, Attorney Nate Shepherd takes in some local high school football, hoping that a Friday night under the lights will give him a chance to relax with his family. It does - until the quarterback’s brother is arrested in the middle of the game.

Nate jumps in to represent the brother, who stands accused of a crime far worse than anyone imagined. As the internet rains fury down on his new client and a merciless prosecutor maneuvers to put the young man away, Nate scrambles to find out what happened and why. But no one, anywhere, seems to be telling him the whole truth.

Nate struggles to build a defense, unwinding a spool of facts that threatens to spill over into his own family’s lives. And with each revelation, the conflict grows until a new danger arises.

Will their secrets tear the brothers apart?

False Oath is the fourth book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, iron-willed characters, and slippery moral quandaries, then you’ll love Michael Stagg’s fierce courtroom drama.

Among the Very Best in the Genre.

If someone is fairly well versed in reading legal thrillers, I believe it becomes obvious that the best storytellers are active or former judges and lawyers. That is surely the case here. When Michael Stagg gave up the law to write full time, the courtroom lost a most articulate and talented attorney. However the bright side is that the bar's loss is our gain as devoted readers of the genre. His 5th book is out on the shelves but as an audio book addict I'm holding out for that as George Newbern does a stellar job not often heard. He is in the same rarified air as Dennis Boutsikaris, Edward Herrmann, and Ed Sala. As one reads through his first 4 books, it is good to enjoy the familiarity that comes with taking them in order however they are perfectly fine as stand-alone enjoyment. The twists and turns towards the end are very well crafted and the author ties up loose ends to my satisfaction anyway. Michael Stagg is an excellent legal wordsmith and I highly recommend his offerings.

A Very Good Series

The four books in this series are seriously good. Looking forward to the next one, hope it comes out soon.
All Four books have a great and unpredictable story line. That keeps them very entertaining. Thank You Micheal Stagg, I look forward to more in the Nate series.

Buy this series…They are so good.

I had read the first in the series long ago so I re listened and ended up getting all four.These books are so entertaining and the storyline is not boring.The narrator was excellent.

LOVED THE BOOK AND THE NARRATOR!

I love the story line of all of Michael Stagg’s novels. I also love the narrator. Great thriller!

I am enjoying the book series

Another fun story. The plot pattern is becoming predictable with a last minute revelation of an unlikely culprit. Narration is excellent and the recurring characters in Nate’s life add to the enjoyment.

Thoroughly enjoying this series

Nate Shepherd is a likable character. The stories move at a pace that I enjoy. I’ve listened to all of the ones before this and will continue to listen to any others that come out.
