An American Lawyer in Paris Jail . . .
A bright young Texas lawyer determined to make it on his own leaves the DA's Office to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney. Just months later, he finds himself at the center of an international Ecstasy drug trafficking ring. As a charismatic negotiator, Lawyer X ignores danger and resurrects a deal gone bad. Caught red-handed in Paris, France, he lands in prison indefinitely.
Isolated from his culture and marked as l'Américain, he is focused on staying alive at a time when Anglo–Franco relations are at an all-time low.
