About this listen
He gave up the money. He gave up the power. Now all he has left is the law.
Michael Brock is billing the hours, making the money, rushing relentlessly to the top of Drake & Sweeney, a giant DC law firm. One step away from partnership, Michael has it all. Then, in an instant, it all comes undone.
A homeless man takes nine lawyers hostage in the firm's plush offices. When it is all over, the man's blood is splattered on Michael's face - and suddenly Michael is willing to do the unthinkable. Rediscovering a conscience he lost long ago, Michael is leaving the big time for the streets where his attacker once lived - and where society's powerless need an advocate for justice.
But there's one break Michael can't make: from a secret that has floated up from the depths of Drake & Sweeney, from a confidential file that is now in Michael's hands, and from a conspiracy that has already taken lives. Now Michael's former partners are about to become his bitter enemies. Because to them, Michael Brock is the most dangerous man on the streets....

Wonderful Story
Our small city is plagued with homelessness. I often hear the comments from passer buyers. Any thing from disgust to sarcastic remarks.
I don’t know what the answer is. People don’t wake up one day and decide it would be fun to be homeless. People with addictions, don’t think they are going to get hooked on drugs or alcohol when they try it for the first time, and I seriously know, that people with mental health issues, don’t enjoy it. Many, who suffer from neither, just fall short on their luck. This is not their fault. In Canada, mental health care is for the rich and famous.
I hope one day, an answer is found, on how to help the plight of these poor victims!
This book offers insight to the problems. I am not aware of any such legal help in our town, we have one shelter that I know of.
Thanks for opening my eyes!
