Perfect for you if...

  • You love legal thrillers with morally grey protagonists who are fighting their own demons as much as their enemies.

  • You appreciate ensemble casts where broken characters form unlikely alliances to uncover the truth.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a protagonist you can fully root for; Jake's drinking and ethical compromises will frustrate you.

  • You want a standalone story; this reads like it's setting up for more books in the series.

About this book

Jake West is a disgraced lawyer struggling with alcoholism who once had the ability to persuade anyone. His career derailed after he accused his own father of corruption while representing the man's biggest client. Now nearly broke and at rock bottom, Jake faces murder charges when his ex-best friend is killed and he becomes the prime suspect. Desperate to prove his innocence, Jake must get sober and find the real killer. He believes the answer lies buried in case files from his father's law firm. As he investigates, Jake discovers a web of lies and corruption. He joins forces with a group of damaged individuals willing to bend the rules alongside him in pursuit of the evidence he needs—regardless of the consequences to their personal and professional lives. This legal thriller explores themes of murder, cover-ups, and redemption set in Los Angeles.
