When criminal defense attorney Joe Hennessy uncovers information about his son's unsolved murder, he must fight against the system to expose the truth.

In Charleston, South Carolina, eighteen-year-old Alicia Fenton is arrested for the murder of her stepfather. In exchange for information that has been buried for twenty years, attorney Joe Hennessy joins her defense team.

Desperate to know the truth about the past, Hennessy battles to prove Alicia is innocent. Fighting against corrupt cops, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and ruthless prisoners, the evidence leads Hennessy into the dangers of the criminal underworld.

Despite his full caseload, Hennessy agrees to defend a building construction manager against a charge of grand larceny. The further Hennessy works into the case, the more he finds that everything is connected.

As the cases progress, Hennessy uncovers a secret about his murdered son that has remained hidden for twenty years.

But to reveal the truth, to take that risk, Joe Hennessy must battle the entire system…

This book had no slow parts, Had a great storyline, a great narrator and even a pretty great twist that made me say "Ah ha!"! While it wasn't difficult to assume the outcome of the book, the twist definitely kept it interesting and and it was just overall a great book! I am definitely off to look at some of this authors other books, as this was my first one. Also, it read great as a standalone. While I now want to listen to his other books, I hadn't ever listened to one before, so I knew none of the story leading up to this book, but I didn't need to. It was perfect. 

It's a perfect book. Nothing to complain about at all!

Excellent story. Characters are all robust and I love how Hennessy is true blue, articulate, and “towering tall”! I wish they made these books into movies. Loved this series.

This book is very hard to listen to if you issues with sensitive language however, the directness makes it authentic!
The southern killer, like the previous 2 Southern books, was written in a way that grabs you from the very first line! There are moments you hold your breath, and twists you didn’t see. Even the obvious outcomes are brought forth in a way you didn’t see! It’s hard to get a good story with a performance that is appealing. This series has nailed both! An author that has a great understanding of the law, and characters that are deep and relatable! I’m hooked! I hope the Joe Hennessy story never concludes!!!!

New favorite author!!!

I liked the story line, thought there could have been a little more backstory on the vineyard and why it was so important to keep.

Joe's underlying commitment to his son.
