Sam Jordan’s dreams of legal stardom are long dead. Fired from his three previous law firms, he now spends his days handling fender benders and his nights drowning his frustrations in video games. When his wife announces she needs “space,” Sam hits a new low.

Then Gina—the woman who’s haunted his thoughts since college—unexpectantly reappears in his life, reigniting a passion Sam thought he’d buried. A romantic dinner rekindles his long-suppressed desires, and sparks a dangerous fantasy, a future with Gina, no matter the cost.
.
That dream shatters when Gina’s husband is found brutally murdered, their bedroom walls splattered with blood. Gina abruptly cuts ties with Sam, and he’s thrust into the center of a sprawling murder investigation.

As the prime suspect, can Sam navigate a treacherous web of lies, betrayal, and deadly secrets to defend himself against a damning tide of evidence?

A gripping combination of suspense and legal drama, James Rosenberg’s latest legal thriller mixes Gone Girl with Grisham, carving out a heart-pounding tale of obsession and justice gone awry.

Why didn’t the defense present their witnesses. Only cross examination and closing …crazy. Not impressed at all with this court drama. Plus the female roles were hard to listen to.

I have gotten to really like this author, but this book was just kinda meh. The narration was especially horrible! Probably it made the book seem worse than it actually was. I didn't know. Don't expect much if you listen to this audiobook!

Not as good as his other books

I like the idea, but neither the plot nor the characters nor the audio input had much depth often lacked emotion and just not worth reading

The author didn't take the listener through any real steps of a murder case. It's like he didn't want to put in the work. He skipped a lot of details of the investigation, the evidence, court room procedure. He even excluded the lawyer and client strategy. This book was awful. The female prosecutor had an obnoxious tone it was unnecessary. It was extremely annoying. Wow! I'm surprised the female narrator didn't catch it herself.

In short, this book delivers a very elementary mystery that is easily detected immediately as events begin to occur. There is supposed to be a big reveal at the end, but the entire story is blatantly obvious well before reaching that point. The author is a lawyer, but if the lawyer in this book is any indication of his expertise, I would avoid both of his professions.

The narration is atrocious. There are two narrators and the male is fairly robotic in his delivery, but he is light years ahead of his female counterpart. Her delivery of the District Attorney is especially cringeworthy. She sounds like a bratty teenager to everyone she speaks to, including the judge and her own witnesses. The behavior of the character is also wildly unbelievable for someone who claims to have high aspirations of becoming a state senator.

Overall this book is just not worth the time. Thankfully it was free, so at least I didn’t waste money or a credit on it.

Incredibly predictable and horrible narration
