The Shell Game: A Legal Thriller

Rate this book
Michael Foster has always seen pathways others can't. After failing the bar exam three times and facing crushing student debt, this Columbia Law graduate can't land a job despite his exceptional mind. When a chance encounter introduces him to the lucrative world of "creative legal consulting," Michael finds himself on a slippery slope, using his remarkable talents to help criminal enterprises navigate regulatory loopholes.



As his wealth and influence grow, so does the attention from law enforcement-particularly from prosecutor Diana Chen, the woman he loves. Caught between ambition and conscience, Michael builds an empire of legal shadows while maintaining a relationship with the very person sworn to bring operations like his to justice.



When a federal investigation threatens everything he's built, Michael must orchestrate his most brilliant legal maneuver yet. But will he choose destruction, surrender, or find a third path that only his unique mind can envision?



The Shell Game is a gripping legal thriller exploring the thin line between ambition and corruption, talent and temptation, and whether redemption is possible for those who have fallen too far.
