Perfect for you if...

You love high-stakes legal thrillers where the courtroom drama spills into real danger and the stakes keep escalating.
You appreciate plotting that weaves multiple crimes across time, with each revelation recontextualising what came before.
You want a protagonist who's clever and principled but gets pulled into situations far beyond his control.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer contained, intimate thrillers that focus on psychology over plot mechanics.
You need your protagonists to be entirely in control and always two steps ahead.
You're looking for a standalone novel rather than the first book in a series.

About this book

A lawyer defending a Vietnam veteran accused of assassinating presidential candidate James Kilcannon finds himself drawn into a dangerous situation. Tony Lord takes on the controversial case, determined to secure a fair trial for his client as the nation watches. A year later, tragedy strikes when Stacy Tarrant, Kilcannon's rock-star girlfriend, becomes entangled in a kidnapping orchestrated by a masked terrorist called Phoenix. The kidnapper demands concessions and threatens to execute his victim on live television. As Tony assists Stacy, he uncovers a connection between Phoenix and the Kilcannon assassination. Phoenix plans to conduct his own televised trial, positioning Tony and Stacy as defendants and himself as judge and executioner.
