Dead by Proxy is the first book in the Proxy Legal Thriller Series that
introduces us to criminal defense lawyer, Quinton Bell who finds that losing a high profile murder case is not only detrimental to his career but also, to his life. Quinton Bell never counted on his client going after him because he had lost the case. Now Quinton Bell is in survival mode and must now deal with his client and his client’s connection to unsavory characters. I connected with Quinton Bell because he was devoted to his job, took pride in his job and was very hardworking just like so many people.
Dead by Proxy is an addictive thriller that is brilliantly paced, crackling with energy, twists and turns, memorable characters, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading this book very much because the storyline was so believable. If you like legal thrillers, then this novel is for you.
