Resumen del Editor

When a billionaire dies, an innocent woman is blamed. One lawyer must fight a wealthy family for justice.

It seems straightforward to Attorney Nate Shepherd: a middle-aged billionaire dies while celebrating at a wedding reception. The grief-stricken family lashes out, though, blaming the billionaire’s date for his death. When the family brings all of its power to bear, the wheels of local justice threaten to overwhelm the woman.

As Nate Shepherd steps in to defend her, he tries to deflect the misplaced anger that’s directed at the woman for the tragedy. But as the investigation progresses, a tangled history unravels, including unexpected ties to Nate’s own life. And with each secret that is uncovered, the stakes rise until Nate finds himself fighting for the woman’s freedom in a trial for her life.

Can Nate Shepherd protect an innocent client from a family trying to buy its own brand of justice?

This is the second 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 this fierce courtroom drama.

As if the author read my review of book 1

Through with book 2, it was as enjoyable as book 1, which I also reviewed and in there mentioned that there were several opportunities for twists and turns in book 1 that the author, Michael Stagg, did not take. That was my only critique \ disappointment with the book 1, that it was a little too straight forward.

And as if the author read my review, there is a twist in book 2. I'll not say when or where, so as not to spoil the story, suffice to say, because book 1 was was so straight forward, I did not see it coming. On to book 3: Blind Conviction. [Smile]

Great listen

Twisted story line and kept me engaged until the end. Easy listening and I recommend

Great premise

About 3/4’s of the way through I started thinking about the importance of having a strong witness for the prosecution…. Good job, loved the tone , the pace, the dialogue . Will download all the books from this author

Slow and predictable

After Lethal Defense, this one falls short. The case is weak and the plot drags. Narrator is excellent. I’m giving this one a smile that doesn’t reach my eyes.

Great story

Kept my attention all the way to the end.
Great ending.
Reader does a good job.

Great story, great characters and terrific narration

I just found this author and must say he rates right up there with the best. I’ve read the first in the series and now finished this one and can happily say they were both enjoyable enough that I couldn’t put them down. I went straight on to this one the same day I finished the first one. Without giving anything away, I’ll just add there was a nice twist in this story. Well worth the read. I’ll be finishing the series and looking forward to more of his books.

A+

Good story, easy listen. Fantastic book and listen. Looking forward to more from Nate Shepherd.

So glad to have found this series - and George Newbern does an amazing job.

Please take the time to listen to this series and be entertained. Because it’s GOOD. You will not be disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Had to get this book because I loved the first one in the series. There’s something about putting the pieces of a puzzle together for a defendant in court. And this story was great for that. The main character, attorney Nate Shepherd, defends a beautiful and intelligent woman accused of murdering her billionaire boyfriend at his nephew’s wedding reception. Twists and turns and the details he uncovers kept me listening whenever I had a spare moment. Highly recommend if you like courtroom dramas.

Great sense of humor & story

At last!a likable more interested in helping his client than chasing women. He has sense of humor & nice family. Ready to start third book of series. Enjoyable way to end stressful day!
