Synopsis

Tim Green returns to Casey Jordan, the heroine of his bestseller The Letter of the Law. Now, years later, Casey has left her high-powered practice and opened a legal aid clinic. When an illegal Mexican immigrant is shot to death on a ranch outside Dallas, it makes the news, not because of the immigrant but because of the shooter, rising political star Senator Chase. The death appears to be a hunting accident, and the well-loved senator spins the disaster artfully with his tearful press conference. But then the wife of the victim steps forward with another tale–and evidence of a cover-up of epic proportions. Casey approaches the district attorney’s office hoping he will prosecute, only to discover that no one wants to tangle with the senator, a powerful man on track for a presidential nomination.

Clever and ambitious, Casey isn’t afraid to stick her neck out even when it’s an unpopular move. But when she goes after the senator herself, suddenly everyone she is close to is a target for a man who seems to be above the law...

By the end of chapter one, I was hooked. I had to know what was going to happen next. This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and up late in my case with its well-developed characters and creative plotting. This fast-paced mystery kept shifting possibilities of who the bad folks were. An......more

Got to Ch 49 (Part 5 of 7) and can't take any more. Part of the reason is that it's so outdated --eg explaining what ICE is --and Casey seems so naive, for a high powered attorney (when it'll add to the plot like leaving her door ajar). She has a big heart, trying to help immigrants, but her privileg......more

Goodreads review by Carol on November 12, 2021

This story just re-enforced what I think happens when rich people, especially famous rich people are accused of a crime. The story was pretty obvious about who the criminal was from the beginning but he is a worm and seems to get out of every situation unaffected, that is until Casey Jordan sets her......more

Goodreads review by Mary McManus on July 01, 2017

Good But? It was a good book but unfortunately unrealistic in some aspects but potentially real in other aspects. I kept reading for it did keep my interest and I did want to know how Mr Green would decide to end the book. I'm afraid he probably is telling the truth about some events that happen or h......more
