Summary
Losing the trial of his life could mean losing everything.
When a young reporter is found dead and a prominent Philadelphia businessman is accused of her murder, Mick McFarland finds himself involved in the case of his life. The defendant, David Hanson, is Mick's best friend, and the victim, a TV news reporter, had reached out to Mick for legal help only hours before her death.
Mick's played both sides of Philadelphia's courtrooms. As a top-shelf defense attorney and former prosecutor, he knows all the tricks of the trade. And he'll need every one of them to win.
But as the trial progresses, he's disturbed by developments that confirm his deepest fears. This trial, one that already hits too close to home, may jeopardize his firm, his family—everything. Now Mick's only way out is to mastermind the most brilliant defense he's ever spun, one that may cross every legal and moral boundary.

Fantastic book never read one of his before but looking forward to another. The way he brings it altogether at the end is amazing

had to return it
I had to return this book because of the narrator. I have no idea if the book is good or not. The narrator over acted and had identity crises switching between Marlon Brando in The Godfather , Clint Eastwood, and Snoop Dog. Pure torture. I hope they will get the narration replaced, as it could be a good listen......

A good story spoiled by cartoon voices.
A good, standard criminal law whodunnit spoiled by the reader's exaggerated style. The words made me think of a tired, world weary elegance. The readers voice is cynical gin joint.

Not a bad story
Kept me listening to the end. Good courtroom detail. Strange narration though - a sort of aggressive whisper. Didn’t put me off

Unusual Justice
I read and listened to this book but found the narrator a bit distracting and unusually for me I disliked most of the characters, all flawed and showed the lengths both sides of the legal teams would go to both cover up and stitch someone up all at the same time in a crime. The wrong people seem to prosper in this tale and at the same time I felt compelled to see what would happen next hence the four * review it left me with a nasty taste in my mouth.

Good story terrible narration
I very nearly gave up on this book early on as I found the narrator so irritating. The urgent breathless style of every sentence is maddening. However I’m glad I stuck with it as the story is entertaining with quite a few twists and turns if slightly improbable

Narrator
Narrator needs to give his head a wobble, spent the whole book shouting his way through.

Cleverly constructed
Cleverly constructed crime puzzle that left me connecting the dots right until the end of the story.

The narrator sounds like Donald Trump!!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This might have been the best book ever but I started listening and the narrator sounds like Donald Trump and I turned it off. He was not good!
What was most disappointing about William L. Myers Jr.’s story?

He sounds like Donald Trump and I can't take it seriously
