Publisher's summary

An innocent man is accused of murder. His enemies want blood. Criminal defense attorney Tex Hunter is the only hope he has left.

Robert Sulzberger appeared to have a perfect life—a respected position in the City Council, a lovely family, a house with all the trimmings—but behind the façade, his life was crumbling. Drawn into a world of crime and corruption, Sulzberger couldn't find a way out. He couldn't escape. And when he tried to walk away, he found himself behind bars. The trial captures the media's attention, and the dark forces of politics are thrown into the limelight. As the son of a convicted serial killer, Tex Hunter knows just how dangerous those forces can be.

Hunter battles against deception, fraud, and cover-ups, risking everything in the most difficult case of his career. Can justice triumph against corruption? Or will the dark side of politics bury the truth forever?

Power and Justice is the first book in this high-stakes legal thriller series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone novel or part of the heart-pounding Tex Hunter Legal Thriller series.

A Good Old Fashioned Who Done It

I listen to a lot of detective novels so I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't know the ending...until the end!!

So far, smells overly woke inspired

Just one-hour in and after pre-ordering with anticipation for a “tough” new male character, the story is sprinkled with heavy doses of today’s version of tough women who think femininity is weak and apparently just slap men silly (already 2 different women have slapped 2 different men, and did so forceful as a man). And of course, like every TV show and commercial since 2020, we learn that the lead character had a interacial relationship (contrived yawn). I was hoping the author could withstand all of the woke edits that the junior editors fresh out of woke universities are making to all otherwise good novels nowadays … novels that some of us faithfully use to escape from all of the woke madness and virtual signaling that plagues all other media. Disappointing thus far but I will update my review if there is a meaningful positive change.

Power & Justice

I enjoyed the story overall. The story provided just enough suspense to keep me drawn in. A really good Read.

skip thisstory is not developed enough, seems forced.

predictable, and cliche. obviously worried about gun control. lacks probable plot and motive. the story doesn't hit a peak, just drags along

Suspense

I really like this author. Wish all his books were on audible. It’s an easy listen while working.

Disapointed

Unlikeable characters in an unlikely plot. Just not for me I guess, gave up on the story did not care what happens to any of the characters.

Cheesey

Stupid story, cheesey lines worst narration ever. I want my money back this is a new low.

Couldn’t finish it.

I can’t believe this was written by the same author who wrote the Joe Henessey series. Was this an older novel he wrote when he was in his teens? Or maybe it was targeted to a different, maybe younger, audience? The main character is undefined, the supporting characters are stereotyped, the storyline is okay but lacks in originality, and the whole thing just feels like it’s someone’s first attempt at a novel.

Shallow

Only about popularity. Amorality, cheating to get ahead. A truly naive story line. Not recommended.
