Summary
Criminal defence lawyers must make their peace with one harsh fact of life: most of their clients are guilty.
Yet when William Tucker, a celebrated and self-centered star college football player, is suddenly arrested and charged with the brutal rape and murder of a college coed two years before, his broken-down, drunken estranged father, Frank, can't believe he's guilty. What father could?
But Frank is also an ex-criminal defence lawyer. Now Frank must find a way to sober up and save his son from the death penalty sought by an ambitious district attorney. Can a father's love for his accused son save him from death?

Another winner
I have enjoyed the previous books by Mark Giminez with mixed results. This book stands firmly in the excellent category. Well written characters and plot, combined with one of my favourite narrators from the Lee Child books.

I have to be honest I have really enjoyed his other books...but this one?? No not really, yes I listened to it all the way through.
Why?
because it was Jeff Harding narrating it and I love his different voices that make the story live.
The story?
Totally obvious from the start, no surprises, no mystery and well really all it was is yarn about a kid who can play football very well and a lecture on not letting fame go to your head, keep your feet on the ground and respecting your parents, because they really LURVE you.. Pretty puke making and cliché ridden tripe nicely read. Poor old Jeff Harding
PLUS...
if like me you know nothing about, and care even less about American football, you won't have the remotest idea what they are on about.
Why didn't I return it??
Well I have returned quite a few lately and didn't want to push my luck, plus I did listen to it to the end.
One for the bin

I'm 30 minutes into this and NOTHING has happened. Where is the story? I feel like I'm listening to a drunk old man In a bar -who mistakenly thinks he can tell a story -describe a football game. Hey dude! This is billed as a thriller. Yawn

Ok if you are into American football and can listen to an irritating American drawl
I had to give up listening to this story. The narrator has such a strong American drawl that for me it became irritating. I don’t want to be unfair to the narrator, his narration is very clear and for an American probably quite palatable but not being an American the drawl just sounded awful to me. Coupled with American football being a large part of the storyline it just wasn’t interesting. I didn’t finish the story but I think I can guess the storyline.

The Case against William
If you like John Grisham you will like Mark Gimenez books. Well written, good story line and held interest to the last chapter.

If it wasn't for Jeff Harding......
The story is sentimental, moralistic and repetitive, with cardboard characters. Jeff Harding does a professional job, reading with dramatic gusto and enough conviction to carry the listener through to the end.

Enthralling Listen
I was drawn into this book from the beginning. The characters are believable (if not a little eccentric) the story unfolds with touches of humour and held me to the end.
As always Jeff Harding is exceptional in his narration, bringing the story to life.
My favourite author and favourite narrator, my only problem is - I have listened to all the books.
Thank you to both of them!
