Publisher's Summary
A client savagely kills a man to protect a friend. A lawyer with secrets must prove it was justified.
Attorney Nate Shepherd left a big firm to go out on his own. He sees nothing but opportunity when an out-of-town lawyer wants to hire him as local counsel on a high-profile murder case. Though his family worries that the case hits too close to home, Nate joins the defense team.
When circumstances force him to take on a bigger role, Nate ignores his family’s fears and throws himself into his client’s defense. But as he digs deeper, every aspect of the case raises memories of a terrible event that Nate has tried his best to bury.
Battling an aggressive prosecutor in court and a dogged reporter outside it, Nate fights to prove that his client’s brutal, bloody slaying of an evil victim was right. But when Nate’s own story is exposed, it threatens his client’s freedom...and Nate’s carefully constructed life. Can he fend off his own demons long enough to save his client?
This is the first book in the gripping Nate Shepherd Legal Thriller series. If you like razor-sharp dialogue, iron-willed characters, and slippery moral quandaries, then you’ll love this fierce courtroom drama.

simplicitly at its best
The plot is simple. The facts are laid out from the beginning. There is no sudden unexpected discovery that turns things around. It is just the way our hero uses the facts known from the beginning to his client's advantage. I couldn't write a word more without spoiling the book for you. The Hero is introduced as an average joe, a simple lawyer from a small town - not some hotshot lawyer. There is nothing super heroic or super intelligent about him. That is what i liked best, these days it is hard to find a good one like this. I'm definitely going to read the next ones in this series.

Fantastic
Nate is an attorney who just works as a local counsel for a case. But things take an unnecessary turn and he ends up handling the case.
This book has a different type of story where a murder is committed and the murderer even accepts his mistake. But things are different in court and Nate is trying his best to avoid the death sentence of his client. The story is interesting and things get heated up when Nate's past is revealed. Nate goes through a lot in order to protect his client. The plot is simple and clean. I read it in audiobook format and the narration was splendid. Overall, it is a great book and is recommended to all book readers.

Simple yet elegant
You often expect a legal thriller to have a game changing plot twist via some new discovery or a new witness or altogether something bizzare and out of the blue making it little less plausible to happen in actuality.
This book is completely opposite, it has a simple case, most if not all facts were presented at very beginning and no new game changing facts were ever presented. The lead wasn't also shown to be a jack of all traits, he was a simple lawyer using help from other people who played important an role.
Really liked the story and recommended it to all
