Story4.5 out of 5 stars 201
A one-man crime wave is shaking the peaceful city of Santa Maria, California, and no place is safe. Kenny Trask, an unpredictable, high-strung, shockingly violent convict, has just escaped from prison and is intent on putting together enough cash to bankroll a new life for himself, his ex-cellmate, and the female defense attorney he believes they must “rescue”. Only one man is willing to stand in the way.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 528
Ensor is no ordinary cop. He's a hero, winner of the Medal of Valor, devoted family man and coach, helping at-risk kids. But the driver who struck him down and didn't stop isn't ordinary either. He's Judge Frank Stevenson, up-and-coming member of the bench, also devoted to his wife and daughter, involved in charities and good works. In a split second he did something completely uncharacteristic that changes his life and the lives of everyone close to him.

They're about to be linked by more than their careers.

Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

Preconceived Notion….
I’ve recently started listening to Wood’s ooks and can’t help but notice his trend for portraying people of color as bad characters and Caucasian’s as the good guy. I might have enjoyed this and all of his other books more if he had shone some diversity of opinion. In these controversial times, thinking outside the typical society box is paramount to successful authors. Open your mind AND your eyes!

I chose the book because of the good reviews, but
I chose the book because of the good reviews, but I am not seeing where they are justified. I am about 4 hours in and I just can't get interested. Between the cartoony narration and the boring story, I just can't get into it. Maybe if I get bored with my other books, I will come back to it, and maybe I will change my mind, but at this point, I can't recommend it.

I enjoyed the story development as the detectives sleuthed down the murderer only to discover he was a double agent. The assistant DA's further sleuthing opened an interesting can of worms to navigate. I recommend this story for the young adult reader.
