A client savagely kills a man to protect a friend. A lawyer with secrets must prove it was justified.

Attorney Nate Shepherd left a big firm to go out on his own. He sees nothing but opportunity when an out-of-town lawyer wants to hire him as local counsel on a high-profile murder case. Though his family worries that the case hits too close to home, Nate joins the defense team.

When circumstances force him to take on a bigger role, Nate ignores his family’s fears and throws himself into his client’s defense. But as he digs deeper, every aspect of the case raises memories of a terrible event that Nate has tried his best to bury.

Battling an aggressive prosecutor in court and a dogged reporter outside it, Nate fights to prove that his client’s brutal, bloody slaying of an evil victim was right. But when Nate’s own story is exposed, it threatens his client’s freedom...and Nate’s carefully constructed life. Can he fend off his own demons long enough to save his client?

This is the first book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, iron-willed characters, and slippery moral quandaries, then you’ll love this fierce courtroom drama.

Overall really good. I really enjoyed it. I would have preferred more actors and a larger variety of voices.

Awesome story

Nothing really to dislike about this book, my only complaint if I had to make one I’d the narration, it seemed a little Blasé and lacking emotion. I really enjoyed the legal Jager. I don’t know if I’d listen to any of the other books in the series but this one was good.

Well written

My first Michael Stagg read, I’m hooked, captivating legal thriller from beginning to end. Narrator George Newbern is the best I’ve heard to date, amazing!

Intriguing from beginning to end!!

At first I wasn't sure about the narrator...but I grew to love it. This story line was really good and it was easy to follow. Definitely will check out more stories about Nate Shephard.

Great Story

Narrator was entirely too flippant, which took away any sense of depth to the main character. Good enough story though.
