Publisher's summary

After more than twenty years away from the law, Joe Hennessy is forced back into the courtroom.

Trying to save his vineyard after years of drought, Hennessy returns to practice in Charleston, South Carolina–the city he walked away from after the murder of his ten-year-old son.

When one of South Carolina's most powerful men is charged with possessing stolen artwork, Hennessy steps forward to defend him. But as Hennessy digs into the evidence, as he navigates the truth, he finds that the criminal charges are only the start of their problems…

Despite his full workload, Hennessy takes on the defense of a young woman charged with stabbing her ex-boyfriend in a violent rage. As he prepares for the trial, he discovers there's more to the case than is presented by the prosecution.

While the cases twist and turn, Hennessy fights to prove that both clients are innocent. But to expose the truth, he must take one of the most dangerous risks of his life.

Can he ensure that justice triumphs? Or will the cases send him to an early grave?

Could stop listening!

This is a new author for me, and I’m so glad I decided to give him a try. The story was great and the narrator did a really good job. I look forward to reading the series.

I thought it was a great story

I thought this was a good legal story. It reminded me of a John Grisham book. I like that it is a series. I will definitely read the other two books.

SLOW

Not the worst I’ve listened to but not the best. Narrator definitely took his time, almost too laid back. I had to speed it up to 1.2. It was a bit of a grind to get through.

Excellent Novel

It drew me in, and kept me there. I found myself trying to figure out who was guilty, and why they did it.
