About this listen
When a billionaire dies, an innocent woman is blamed. One lawyer must fight a wealthy family for justice.
It seems straightforward to Attorney Nate Shepherd: a middle-aged billionaire dies while celebrating at a wedding reception. The grief-stricken family lashes out, though, blaming the billionaire’s date for his death. When the family brings all of its power to bear, the wheels of local justice threaten to overwhelm the woman.
As Nate Shepherd steps in to defend her, he tries to deflect the misplaced anger that’s directed at the woman for the tragedy. But as the investigation progresses, a tangled history unravels, including unexpected ties to Nate’s own life. And with each secret that is uncovered, the stakes rise until Nate finds himself fighting for the woman’s freedom in a trial for her life.
Can Nate Shepherd protect an innocent client from a family trying to buy its own brand of justice?
This is the second 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.

He dreams of a sweetheart score that’ll make his name and net him millions. Then comes the lightning rod: a school shooting just outside of Salt Lake City.

Thumbs up! Full of witty dialogues and inspiring characters!
This is the 2nd book I have read from this author. I really enjoy his literary style, and the character portrayal of Nate, as the reluctant defence lawyer who lost his wife too early, is both compelling and endearing. I would say the the plot-lines are a bit slow lacking in sophistication, but overall, the courtroom dramas are well developed and entertaining. I will keep on reading this series!

The use of the F word and other fillers
The preview didn’t have continuous profanities and belied the real content. I don’t know if this author tells a good story, but if you want to be bored listening to the F word frequently then you may like this story. I skipped most of it due to language so my apologies to audible in this review
