About this listen
For one small-town lawyer, the defense of a client could be his undoing at the hands of another…
In the latest twist of fate, defense attorney Sam Johnstone confronts a formidable challenge: defending a renowned surgeon accused of domestic battery against her estranged husband, who happens to be a local attorney. This seemingly straightforward misdemeanor case spirals into a complex murder trial, where Sam must show his client acted in self-defense. But the courtroom isn't his only battleground.
Sam finds himself in a difficult situation when a former lover, obsessed with him, directs threatening attention towards him and his client. He faces a tough choice: striving for success in the courtroom or focusing on safety outside of it.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author James Chandler comes the seventh book in the Sam Johnstone legal thriller series. This thriller is perfect for fans of John Grisham, James Patterson, and C.J. Box.

The accused is one Tommy Olsen, a known delinquent who had been sleeping with the victim.

Disappointing.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The female characters are almost all written to be whiny and needy, if not conniving.
Separately, the way the narrator does women’s voices makes them all sound the same. SPOILER ALERT:
Seriously? So many women become crazy stalkers over this guy? It has become a little ridiculous.
Seriously?
