A Jack Dillard Novel

The new Jack Dillard novel

Two isolated killings.

Two potentially innocent men.

Jack Dillard—son of Joe—is a criminal defense attorney reeling in the wake of the ordeals he’s endured the last few years. He’s lost and angry, especially because the family reputation his parents built is in tatters. Though not entirely his fault, he blames himself.

When Jack is approached by a young podcaster who’s passionate about a convicted murderer’s innocence, he’s hesitant to get involved. But the case intrigues him, so Jack reluctantly agrees to assist.

Meanwhile, Jack’s wife and law partner, Charleston Dillard, is struggling to juggle his volatile moods, their shrinking law practice, and the challenges of raising their newly adopted daughter, Abby.

When Charlie is approached by a long-lost relative to represent a man charged in a local murder, she agrees to meet the prospective client. She and Jack need the money.

But she soon learns the victim’s father is one of the most powerful men in Unicoi County. And he is intent on seeing his son’s killer suffer.

As Jack and Charlie dig into the two cases, they begin to uncover strange connections between them. With pressure mounting, Jack becomes the target of a deeply unhinged enemy who will try to take everything from him, including his sanity, to stop him from discovering the truth.

And even the mighty Joe Dillard is powerless to help.

“Pratt’s richly developed characters are vivid and believable, especially the strong Southern women who fight their male-dominated culture from behind a façade of vulnerability.” (Publishers Weekly)

👍

Another great one. Really good plot and storyline. Highly recommend Main character continue! Shouldn’t miss out on this one

Meh

Definitely not as good as the Joe Dillard series. I had a really hard time getting into it and didn’t really care for the characters.

Jack Dillard is a winner

I knew I’d miss Joe Dillard (and I do). However, Jack Dillard is “fighting the criminal element” in his own way and keeps the readers on their toes.

Manipulation to hide in plain sight

When a court reverses a conviction, it doesn't change the court of public opinion. Jack is recruited to help another convicted person get a reversal on his sentence. What seems as a straight forward case turns into a very much larger conspiracy.

Great book

The story held me. I couldn’t put book down. Love that Joe’s son is carrying the stories on.

A great continuation of the Dillard family

I really liked hearing from the people in the Joe Dillard series. Leon Bates is as tough and smart as ever

Best of the series, in my view

Nice to see Jack Dillard come into his own. Interesting story, and a very satisfying resolution.

In the edge

Suspenseful! Even the bizarre parts come together in an intense finale! A "hard to put down" Audible thriller!

Suspenseful

Sometimes I couldn’t keep track of who was who. I enjoy the narrators voice. Keep writing!

Perfect!

This story was the perfect addition to the Joe Dillard series and introduction to possibly a Jack Dillard series. I enjoyed every bit of this book. Great job!
