Authentic and binge-worthy, a high-octane legal thriller from lawyer turned bestseller, John Ellsworth.

When he lands a high-profile murder case to defend, Thaddeus Murfee is up against his first major adversary.

But it's not the prosecution.

It's his client.

He might be fresh out of law school and a touch idealistic, but Murfee has a tenacity that belies his inexperience. He'll need it as he's swept into a deadly game of treachery and lies.

With a dark secret around every corner, Murfee has the fight of his life to uncover the truth and survive in the high-stakes world of the American criminal justice system.

John Ellsworth's heart-pounding and intricate thriller will leave you open-mouthed and wanting more.

I couldn’t get past the voice.
