About this listen

Romance. Revenge. Redemption.

On the verge of unseating a powerful incumbent, crusading congressional candidate Marcus Blanchard is framed for murder. As the final votes are counted, he’s discovered at the scene of a brutal election-night homicide—accused of killing the very woman hired to assassinate him.

Now, three powerful forces want him eliminated: A corrupt political boss driven by hatred, a violent drug lord protecting his empire, and a sitting congressman desperate to keep his seat. To survive, Marcus turns to the only man he can trust.

Edward Mead—brilliant but aging, and emotionally drained by his wife’s cancer battle—reluctantly steps back into the courtroom. Thrust into Cleveland’s explosive underworld, Mead collides with drug dealers, riots, and a city torn apart by poverty, race, and political greed.

With time running out and the streets erupting, the case becomes more than a trial—it’s a fight for truth, justice, and the soul of a city.

Lethal Ambition is a fast-paced legal thriller that blends the twist-filled mystery of Agatha Christie with the courtroom power of John Grisham. It’s a thought-provoking, emotionally charged ride that entertains—and makes you think.
