And that's just what someone planned. For Michael Ashmore, soft-hearted, hard-headed trial lawyer, has been chosen as the perfect patsy in a chilling conspiracy. And he has until the verdict comes in to find out who and why...

A Grisham-type legal novel. Engrossing!

Would make an awesome movie. The book seems boring at first, yet it all comes together about page 135.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this legal thriller. Looking forward to reading another book by the author.

Two sex scenes in the first forty pages, characters losing their moral compass, didn't bother reading any further.

not great, not bad - the author is probably fine and it was just not a great weekend for me to be reading a book. A one-night stand for sure
