The Remora Shadow
A dead man floating in the bay. A client concealing the truth. An anti-submarine drone that could start an all-out war. Attorney Bryce Seagraves has an impossible case. A defense contractor accuses his new client of espionage. She denies stealing the plans for a top-secret drone. Her boss is murdered. The last person to speak with the victim was Seagraves, and now he is a suspect. Finding the killer would clear not only his client, but himself as well. Before the trial, Seagraves spars with federal investigators, aggressive lawyers, and covert agents. In court, he can never be sure if his client is innocent or guilty. Losing the case would devastate the woman he defends. Winning the case risks exposing a dark conspiracy. The Remora Shadow is a legal thriller that explores hidden clashes between espionage and the law.

Still trying to push through this. I’m at the halfway point now.
My husband has read this before me and said it gets better in the second half and I’m hoping he is right.
There are some parts that are legitimate page-turners and others cannot keep your attention even they dripped hundred dollar bills as you read. …or maybe THAT could, but I digress.
Drew Stone is native to my hometown, which I was thrilled to learn. Making me want to like this even more.
He really knows his stuff and there is some humor throughout, so it isn’t stale.
I’m going to push through and hopefully finish this…who knows, I may even read the next one.

Really intriguing book, interesting characters and plot. I looked to see if Stone had other legal/spy thrillers, but didn’t see any. Looking forward to the next one!

Mr. Stone reached out to me for a read and review. I was happy to do so as he writes in a genre I enjoy – that of legal thrillers.
Bryce Seagraves, an attorney, was hired by Richard Kostas who never showed up for his appointment. Marisa Dupree, who worked with Mr. Kostas, presented herself to Bryce’s office, as she was also named in the lawsuit filed by Benton Dynamics. Benton Dynamics, a company who holds proprietary data, is claiming that Mr. Kostas and Ms. Dupree stole some of their information and they want it back. All this has to do with the Remora Shadow, an underwater drone. The question is where did their information go?
If you like legal thrillers mixed with a bit of intrigue, you are sure to enjoy this book. I look forward to more courtroom drama involving Mr. Seagraves.

A Good Read. Drew kept me in suspense. The second half of the book, when he got into the courtroom scenes and the screws tightened on Seagraves, I couldn't put it down.

“The Remora Shadow” is a page turner. The first 20 or 30 pages almost gave me more of a down-on-his-luck private eye vibe. Attorney Bryce Seagraves is a former JAG lawyer whose conscience has led him to leave his far more lucrative government gig behind for the peaceful, laid back Eastern Shores of Maryland. He becomes involved in a case that harkins back to his former life of national security, and like a good legal thriller, the plot takes multiple unexpected turns and grows more and more intricate is it moves along. I enjoyed guessing along with the story and was actually kind of ticked off when 40 pages from the end, I had to put it down and go to work. All and all a compelling, well-written thriller.

Quite Enjoyable
This legal thriller sure had most of the attributes of the classic mystery. That is, the excitement and pull to keep the reader entertained and wanting to solve the mystery. In fact it did not disappoint in any discernable way. And the ending was not bad either. Well done.
