Publisher's Summary
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.

Was great
Good balance between relatable characters and entertaining lives. Not too much suspense where you want to read spoilers ahead of time, but just the right pace needed to do laundry and dishes. Will be buying the next book for sure.

Aaah, a true legal thriller!
I love the courtroom drama! Performance is not quite up to a Grisham audiobook level but still, I am anticipating the next book in the series. Long may Nate practice law.

My first Michael Stagg read, I’m hooked, captivating legal thriller from beginning to end. Narrator George Newbern is the best I’ve heard to date, amazing!

So-So
Narrator was entirely too flippant, which took away any sense of depth to the main character. Good enough story though.
