Description

A high-stakes legal thriller that is perfect for fans of John Grisham and Scott Turow following a Washington, DC, litigator who is hired to defend his best friend, the former President of the United States, against a murder charge.

After a long career as one of DC’s most powerful litigators, Rob Jacobson is faced with the case of a lifetime: the former President of the United States—his childhood best friend—has been accused of murdering his mistress.

Rob knows he’s the only one who can prove his friend’s innocence, but he is soon overwhelmed as he attempts to devise a strategy to defend an authoritative man with a taste for infidelity, serious anger issues, and unconventional sexual appetites. As the high-profile case unfurls, the troubled, intertwining pasts of the two men complicate Rob’s efforts and soon, doubts begin to grow in his head. Could his oldest friend truly be capable of murder or is something even darker at play?

    DO NOT PUT this book down before the ending. Stay up late; who needs sleep? This is The Usual Suspects twisty. The book is legally sound, fast paced and keeps the guessing going throughout. Well done.
  • Tedious with crazy ending

    This book became a bit tedious, but I stuck with it because it had some interesting elements BUT the ending was just unbelievable and I actually wish I’d never wasted my time- that’s rare for me because I love to read and am not that picky. Run!

    Utter disappointment - nothing new, been told and done before. Skip this one.
