This is a great legal thriller. There are lots of plot twists, exciting chase scenes, much courtroom drama and a big surprise at the end. The main characters are well-drawn, although I'd like to have seen some of the other characters developed more fully. I hope to see some of these characters in future novels to learn what happens to them.

Again, I chose to listen to Ray Foushee's excellent performance. He's really on the mark as the voice of Paul Madriani.
