A client savagely kills a man to protect a friend. A lawyer with secrets must prove it was justified.

Attorney Nate Shepherd left a big firm to go out on his own. He sees nothing but opportunity when an out-of-town lawyer wants to hire him as local counsel on a high-profile murder case. Though his family worries that the case hits too close to home, Nate joins the defense team.

When circumstances force him to take on a bigger role, Nate ignores his family’s fears and throws himself into his client’s defense. But as he digs deeper, every aspect of the case raises memories of a terrible event that Nate has tried his best to bury.

Battling an aggressive prosecutor in court and a dogged reporter outside it, Nate fights to prove that his client’s brutal, bloody slaying of an evil victim was right. But when Nate’s own story is exposed, it threatens his client’s freedom...and Nate’s carefully constructed life. Can he fend off his own demons long enough to save his client?

This is the first book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, iron-willed characters, and slippery moral quandaries, then you’ll love this fierce courtroom drama.

Reading this novel upset me….I couldn’t put it down!

The high reading is because not all courtroom dramas hold the reader so tightly.
Anticipating the pleasure of getting back to it is the game changer….not all
works in this genre achieve that connection.
Thanks Michael Stabb from this Canadian fan who will be following you as long as your producing this great stuff!

This story got me riveted. Well-written and not trying hard.

Nate Shepherd sounds like a dreamboat as Maggie the reporter tagged him. He is on the right side if morality. Which very few lawyers have.

Unconvincing

The storyline was too farfetched. The writing was overly repetitive and redundant. This was a completely unsatisfying read. I will not purchase any more books in this series. Disappointing.

This is an excellent read. It had me from the beginning and developed steadily to great ending. It's everything a good legal thriller should be. I recommend it.

Compelling read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 23, 2022

I love courtroom dramas, love Scott Turow or Sheldon Siegel, for example and this discovery offers promise of another series to devour. It’s ‘don’t want to put it down’ and ‘looking forward to picking it up’ good. Plot and characterisation are good but what singles it out is the quality of the trial scenes - and the fact that you care. Recommended.

I really enjoyed the characters. Tried to block out the swear words 🙃 Christian here. However l was amazed how Nathan managed to turn around a jury into acquicting Braggy who killed the drug dealer. Not only killed him but made a complete mess of his body. I liked Braggy. Strong character. Knows what he wanted. Got it at the end. Amazing. A

Extremely well written courtroom drama

There were some critical reviews about the quality of the writing and maybe the book has been cleaned up but I hate to read even a good story badly told: this was not it, Michael Stagg can write and I am going immediately to his next novel.
