Proof

A Thriller

De: Jon Cowan

Narrado por: Andrew Eiden

“Cowan has combined the best parts of classic legal thrillers, with an unexpected new lead character that brings the genre into a new generation.” —JAMES PATTERSON

From a writer and executive producer of Suits comes a riveting and gritty legal thriller about murder, cover-ups, redemption, and Los Angeles—perfect for fans of #1 bestselling authors John Grisham and Scott Turow.

As a disgraced lawyer with a drinking problem that he doesn’t view as a problem, Jake West is coasting on what’s left of his charm and money. He used to be the kind of lawyer who could convince anyone of anything—until he decided to take on his father’s biggest client and prove his dad was corrupt. Now Jake finds himself almost at rock bottom, and that’s before his ex-best friend is murdered and Jake is accused of the crime.

In a desperate bid to save himself, Jake must sober up and search for the real killer, whom he suspects might be hidden in one of the case files of his father’s illustrious law firm. As he delves into a labyrinth of lies and corruption, Jake teams up with an eclectic group of equally broken people as they all must skirt the law in order to find the proof he needs…no matter the personal or professional cost.

Great book

This is such a fanatic book with great characters. It grabbed my attention from the start!!

Who recommended this - I want to thank them!

Now that I know what this author does, it makes sense why his first book is so entertaining. It kept moving, has very little gratuitous anything, and painted a really good picture. Knowing there will be another chapter in Jake’s life in 2026 is something to look forward to. I’m just wondering how long before there’s a series somewhere ….

Narrator fail

The Irish character was indistinguishable from the others for the most part. Too little action and too much description of the protagonist’s angst and alcoholism.

Good start for characters intended to inhabit a series. Good story

Narrator useless for anyone but Jake.
Couldn’t produce an Irish accent for the female cop, or make discernible vocal distinctions for most characters.
Story would be enhanced by a much better reader.
