About this listen
With money and hope in short supply, newly minted attorney Brigham Theodore decides it’s time to lower his standards. He joins a seedy fly-by-night firm in Salt Lake City out of desperation. After he loses his first case - a speeding ticket - he’s convinced his career is over. But to his shock, his boss hands him a slightly more complex case: capital murder.
Brigham’s new client is Amanda Pierce, a lost, exhausted woman who gunned down the man who tortured and killed her six-year-old daughter. A jury may prove sympathetic to her unbearable pain, but the law is no fan of vigilante justice - and neither is Vince Dale, the slick and powerful prosecutor who’s never lost a murder case. There’s no question that Amanda pulled the trigger - she did it in front of five witnesses. If she pleads guilty, she will avoid a death sentence, but saving her life this way comes with an admission that what she did was wrong. However, if she refuses the “guilty” label, Brigham will have no choice but to fight for his career - and Amanda’s life.

Story
Personal injury attorney Peter Game has a reputation: cynical, untroubled by ethics, and willing to take any case, anytime, in his pursuit of the win. He dreams of a sweetheart score that’ll make his name and net him millions. Then comes the lightning rod: a school shooting just outside of Salt Lake City. His client: the devastated mother of one of the victims. What she wants is understandable—just not simple: to sue the manufacturers of the automatic weapon used in the mass killing.

Story
For high-powered personal injury attorney Noah Byron, the good things in life come with a price tag - cars, houses, women. That's why he represents only cases that come with the possibility of a nice cut of the action. But as a favor to his ex-wife, he meets with the mother of twelve-year-old Joel, a boy poisoned by tainted children's medicine. While the official story is that a psycho tampered with bottles, the boy's mother believes something much more sinister is at work...and the trail leads right back to the pharmaceutical company.

They will accept no lesser plea.

Four Stars Until Closing Argument
I can overlook the improbability that a new lawyer gets a capital murder case. It was a little more unbelievable yet that none of the lawyers were very worried/hopeful that the jury would be sympathetic to a mother who has lost her child to a heinous criminal when she also happens to be a crippled war veteran. I still thought it was a good, though one dimensional, story.
The closing argument for the defense was so pointless and irrelevant. It was an attack on the system that favored the rich and fought an unjust war in Iraq. Where did that come from?! There was no tie-in to anything that had come before in the story. Almost as if the author suddenly decided to take a shot at Republicans he had always wanted to.

A good, solid read!
Forget the why's and wherefore's of true legal process, this is a good and enjoyable read and well narrated by Nick Podehl.
I thought Brigham Theodore was a great character, with a good back story and suffering the same challenges that most young newly qualified people do; finding a job.
I thought Victor Methos did a great job of building his characters, giving them life, and regardless of other reviewers, I thought the courtroom action was true entertainment.
There is one piece featuring a witness late in the trial that I thought was true genius and I was rooting for Brigham all the way.
I am looking forward to reading the follow up to this story.
I would like to thank the author/narrator for providing me a copy of this book, free of charge, in return for an unbiased review.

Loved it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. I love court cases and this one was interesting and not too long. Good book! Check it out!

Too short and thus why free
Could've been much better. Audio just over 4 hrs. Says unabridged. More detail would have been nice.

Quick Read
This reminded me of a John Grisham novel if I could compare it to something mainstream. It is a quicker listen ( or read) and the characters aren't as developed but it keeps moving and keeps your interest. If you are a fan of lawyer/ law type books this is right up your alley

A little hokey but enjoyable.
Same old lawyer defends victim against bad guys and who ever heard of an Ukrainian lawyer. Just the right read for someone who needs to put the story down to go on with life's other duties.
