John Stone Law 5: A Legal Thriller
John’s client in a divorce case is accused of murdering his soon-to-be ex-wife, but the client rebuffs the firm’s offer to defend him in the criminal case since he would prefer a more high profile defense attorney.
This should be the end of the story, but the winery the couple had owned together also had some silent partners south of the border. The sort of silent partners who don’t like having their investments frozen by American law enforcement. After these “investors” intimidate the new counsel into refusing to defend the husband, he comes running back to John.
The client appears guilty, and he has unsavory and dangerous partners, but this murder is the talk of Texas high society. Can the fledgling John Stone Law Firm afford to turn away a high profile case? Will the risk pay off for Dallas’ best lawyer?

Too much minutia.
Did we really need a getting up in the morning and getting ready for bed at night blow by blow time and time again, as well as the morning, noon and night, weather conditions, too much!

‘page turner’ of ever there was one.
A stunningly simple, yet complex, story told with attention to detail, to the needs of the reader and to character development…can’t wait for the next one.
