Twelve-year-old Frankie Bishop is a model kid: quiet and bright. So everyone, especially his family, is shocked when he's arrested for drug possession - and horrified when he's sentenced to juvenile detention at Eldridge Academy. His uncle, Bruce Kantor of the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to help but knows he's too close to the case.
His associate Dani Trumball has family worries of her own to deal with, but she knows Bruce wouldn't ask for help without cause. Just as she and her team begin to investigate, the case gets even thornier: Frankie is missing, and evidence points to an Eldridge cover-up.
As the FBI launches a hunt for the boy, Dani knows something isn't right. Why would a minor's first offense earn such a harsh punishment? Unconvinced by the court documents, Dani is dogged in her pursuit of the truth that will save Frankie's future - if he still has one.

Once again, we are taken into a drama that most of would never think about. Simply, just a new kid in school wanting to appear cool to the other kids, to gain acceptance. Starts off very innocently and quickly rolls into a page turner as Frances (the juvenile in the story) gets thrown into trouble at a facility for young offenders. And his troubles are only starting. He sees things that could cause many of the personnel to loose their jobs or face jail times themselves.
Looking for Frances, his frantic mother contacts the office of the Innocence Project and before long, Dani finds herself knee deep while facing an issue she never imagined possible.
Love the book. Love the narrator. If you are looking for a courtroom thriller, this is more of a courtroom drama. Best book I have listened to in a while. Can't wait for next book.
Martin Green does not disappoint

First Offense is a complex novel that includes a lot of human interest. For example, the boy's older brother is in Marine boot camp and his father, a Marine Lieutenant Colonel, is missing in action and likely a prisoner of the Taliban. This legal thriller plays with the listener's emotions very nicely. First Offense is Book 4 in this 4 novel series.
Tanya Eby does a fabulous job of narration if I overlook her mispronouncing our local city's name of Charlotte as shar-lot' repeatedly.
Wonderful new legal thriler release in the...
