Publisher's summary

Justice is a deadly game…

When one of South Carolina’s most powerful lawyers is charged with the murder of his wife, criminal defense attorney Joe Hennessy agrees to be part of the defense team. As Hennessy builds a legal defense, he’s thrown into a world of danger and corruption, cruelty and violence.

Despite his full caseload, Hennessy agrees to defend a folk singer charged with drug trafficking. As he prepares for the trial, Hennessy digs into a world of lies, manipulation, and exploitation.

Fighting to find the truth in both cases, Hennessy battles against violent criminals, corrupt businessmen, and ruthless felons. He follows the evidence trail, digging deep into the criminal underworld. With the clock ticking, the pressure builds from all sides of the law.

The evidence Hennessy uncovers provides the chance to expose a deadly secret. But to do that, to take that gamble, to take that chance, Joe Hennessy must risk everything he loves.

Love the development of characters and the emotions displayed in main characters. Like that they continue in to the next story.

Moving through the judicial system

One of the best books I have listened to in awhile. You feel as though you can actually feel what the characters are going through.

Believable

I like the characters and the cases seem realistic. The court scenes feel like being on the jury and getting new information that may change your mind. Not quite Grisham but very good.

Great book series for lawyers if you like courtroom dramas

The narrator is excellent and gives life to the different characters’ voices. I’m a lawyer, and I really enjoy this series for the courtroom aspect and the setting of South Carolina (since I don’t know a lot about the place).

Narration is supreme!

You need a good story to make an enjoyable book, and this one is. But to make an enjoyable audiobook, the narrator makes it happen. Bradford Hastings and his voice for each character made The Southern Criminal come alive. Can’t wait to listen to the third in the series.

Loved the second book of the series!

Joe Hennessy never disappoints. The story line is always interesting and for me hard to put down. Can’t wait to listen to the third book in the series.
