Publisher's summary

Attorney Nate Shepherd returns to represent a city councilman accused of murder. His client is unlikeable, abrasive, and rude. But is he a killer?

Nate Shepherd must try a murder case. Fast.

When a powerful politician is arrested for killing a local business owner, he hires Nate on one condition—Nate must try the case within ninety days. He has a rock-solid alibi and wants to prove his innocence before his opponents can destroy his career.

Working with his fiery associate and his two oldest friends, Nate scrambles to pull the case together. But once the trial date is set, Nate's strategy falls apart as new witnesses and damning facts emerge, evidence that Nate's client curiously forgets to mention every single time.

Battered by a collapsing case and an ungrateful client, Nate barrels ahead. But on the eve of trial, an unexpected shock in Nate's family threatens to derail it all. Fighting through doubt of his client—and worse, of himself—Nate enters a trial he must not lose.

Swift Judgment is the seventh book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, captivating characters, and riveting trials, you'll love this fierce courtroom drama by Michael Stagg.

Loved it

I’ve listened to all in this series so far. Each are equally entertaining and well worth the time invested to listen. Stagg has an amazing talent to tell a story dripping with what has to be his real life. Legal terms and process explained so anyone can comprehend and in a way that enhances the story just at the right times. To hear him describe the situation with father made me cry- literally !!! This is a gifted story teller who I hope goes on to write 100 more books about Nate Shep “herd”. I’ll listen to every one of them 2x!!! Thanks you Michael Stagg. Amazing work.

Draws you in, hard to put down.

George Newbern is the perfect voice for these books. The reader learns right along side Nate as the case unfolds.

First person story telling and great court room detail

I love this method of story telling. Intellectually stimulating and wry but not too edgy and cute. Love learning about trial law, courtroom process and I appreciate the dignity with which the author portrays his characters.

Story and narration 10 stars! Another great one!

Totally love the characters that Michael Stagg have made so personable and with the narration being beyond top-notch. Totally recommend and love this combo. Will look for more of these and be bummed when I can’t find any more. Checks all the boxes!
