Fast Break
ATTORNEY KATE MARSTON HAS LANDED A HIGH PROFILE CASE THAT COULD EITHER MAKE OR BREAK HER CAREER.
Her client is a controversial judge who has been charged with murder. Her investigation leads her into the shadowy and dangerous world of organized crime, hard-ball politics, and big-time college football. It also leads her to an alternative suspect -- her father. Will she be able to avoid this ethical minefield and give her client zealous representation? Or will her duty to her client be compromised by family loyalty?
Early Praise for Fast Break
"Tense, exciting, beautifully written, this legal thriller is simply fun. I highly recommend it."— Patrick J. Murphy, author of Way Below E.
"Terry Lewis is a gifted novelist, an attorney, and a former judge. This unique mix of talent and experience is the perfect combination for creating a compelling legal thriller, and makes Fast Break a page-turner that drips with authenticity and realism. This is the flawless practice of the law on the page in the service of an explosive mystery thriller."— Michael Lister, New York Times bestselling author of the John Jordan series
“Fast Break is a compelling legal thriller that quickly gathers momentum and builds to a terrific climax. Attorney Kate Marston is a very intriguing and sympathetic character, and I hope we will see her again.”— James L. Thane, author of South of the Deuce
“FAST BREAK is a gripping tale of social and political intrigue, set against the sweltering milieu of Florida's Panhandle. The shocking twists in this legal thriller come fast and furious.” A great read!— Joseph Souza, author of The Neighbor .
“Lewis combines crisp writing, honest dialogue, nuanced and layered plotting, and intriguing and complex characters to maximum advantage in this compelling tale of courtroom intrigue and murder. With a startling ending which seems inevitable, and yet also surprising, Fast Break is a five-star winner from an author at the top of his game.”— Claire Matturro, author of Skinny-Dipping and The Smuggler's Daughter.
“A well-executed fast break is not only a work of art and a thing of beauty; it is wonderfully symbolic of a life in motion, fast, furious, but hopefully, under control. It requires a combination of finely tuned spatial skills, depth perception, speed, balance, and instinct; a mind’s eye that lets you see even that which is not in your line of sight.
And I loved to be in the middle of it.”

This is a really good book. And I don’t say that because the events take place in Tallahassee, my home for 28 years. Or that my name is in the acknowledgements for my role in reviewing draft chapters. This is an interesting, suspenseful story that provides a lot of insight into judges, lawyers, the law and the judicial system in Florida.
Terry writes well and, due to his day job as a trial judge, has a good command of the interesting details of cases and the process by which crimes are handled by the prosecuting attorneys and defense lawyers. There is also an interesting subplot about domestic abuse.

Terry Lewis is a gifted writer and was able to hide who done it to the very last few pages. I have enjoyed all of his books and am proud to be a friend of such a talented writer.
