A high-stakes legal thriller that is perfect for fans of John Grisham and Scott Turow following a Washington, DC, litigator who is hired to defend his best friend, the former President of the United States, against a murder charge.

After a long career as one of DC’s most powerful litigators, Rob Jacobson is faced with the case of a lifetime: the former President of the United States—his childhood best friend—has been accused of murdering his mistress.

Rob knows he’s the only one who can prove his friend’s innocence, but he is soon overwhelmed as he attempts to devise a strategy to defend an authoritative man with a taste for infidelity, serious anger issues, and unconventional sexual appetites. As the high-profile case unfurls, the troubled, intertwining pasts of the two men complicate Rob’s efforts and soon, doubts begin to grow in his head. Could his oldest friend truly be capable of murder or is something even darker at play?

I love a courtroom drama

and this one kept me guessing until the end! Highly recommend. And he audible must I write 15 words when less is all I have to say?

Rather implausible

The set up is just to hard to believe. The President marries the defense lawyers lover followed by the President luring away the lawyers new lover and then being charged with her murder. Courtroom scenes are good and save the day.

WOW!

I purchased this book because of a sale so I wasn’t really expecting anything. However, the more I listened the more intrigued I became. But at the same time I would become so nervous while listening at certain points that I would just put it away. Now keep in mind that I sometimes feel anxious in certain situations experienced or perceived. Anyway, I would come back to the book when I was able. I finished the last 2 hours in one sitting and the ending BLEW ME AWAY!!!

the ending

great ending twist. I like when an author writes a good ending. Well done!

Couldn’t stop listening!

Great character development and legal reasoning. Exciting mystery and awesome voice acting. I didn’t guess who dunnit until the very end.

Great Head Fake

Loved how the author gave you all you needed to know but still surprised you with the ending

Jeez…kept me guessing and then had to re-guess it

Oh my gosh. I definitely don’t want to be a spoiler, so let’s just say that when I finished it, I had to rethink every bit of plot. It was crazy and great.

Very surprising

This book was very engaging. Kept me engaged all the way through until the very end

Interesting plot

The novelty of the plot caused me to pick up this book at my local library. As a courtroom drama, it was very satisfying.

Brilliant ending. I never saw it coming.

Brilliant twist. Good books are getting harder and harder to find these days. I will definitely look forward to more novels from this auther.
